The BOSA template was developed with Matthew Boice, and is consistent with the measurements of the first day scrape from
"Making Reeds Start to Finish with George Sakakeeny."
This template is designed to be used with the van Hoesen and SVH shapes, but can also be used with the following narrow shapes with good results:
Herzberg (With 3 mm cut off of the butt of the shape)
Rieger 14
Rieger 1A
Fox 1
Fox 2
The template is designed for a reed with an overall length of 53.5 mm to 54 mm,
with a 27 mm tube length. A scrape length of 15 mm is possible with this template.
