Hallo Leute!

From some time I've been thinking on building my own reeds, the thing is, I don't know how to start

I understand that reeds (even the plastic ones) reacts to weather and humidity, being a factor for a better tuning
Currently I'm using a Güntzel marktsack with plastic reeds, I don't have any problem in terms of playing, the only issue is the tuning, I found that reeds (obviously) are calibrated to work with Germany's weather, and this weather (that it's mostly oceanic) is different from the weather where I live (Jalisco, Mexico) which is mostly Subhumid-warm.

That's whay I'm looking for instruccions to build reeds, if someone can share this with me, it would be a great help

Gracias!!!

Hey Henk!

Thank you very much! I'm going to check it out and lucky me I have some tubes from previous reeds , the only thing that I need is to know what kind of plastic is the best, I was told that the plastic of the cream pots could help, but the ones here in Mexico are very thick, some time ago a builder gave me the name of the plastic, is the same (or almost the same) that Güntzel uses, and it's sold on Etsy, but I cannot remember the name, anyway with this you helped me a lot

Many regards!

Yup. plastic ones those are the ones my chanter use, thanks Henk, I found some options for the mylar!
