Used Book in Good Condition
The American, French, German, Dutch, etc., schools all have their favoured shapes, but I've seen very nice German scrape reeds (that sounded wonderful when played by their maker) shaped with an RDG 1, so who knows. Maybe someone more experienced can comment.
Reedmaking is definitely a skill worth finding a teacher for. 10 minutes with my teacher when I'm stuck and she's identified 2-3 concrete things that massively improve that particular reed, and every reed I make after that. Of course, it's possible to learn everything on your own... but it'll take a lot longer, and cost a fair amount in destroyed cane.
In the meantime, if you want to see (and read about) a wide variety of reeds, check out David Ledet's awesome book.
