I was talking with my teacher a while back about reed clippers and what to do
with soft reeds. She recomended me NOT to get a reed trimmer and she
explained to me that the fibers in your reed are pinched together when you
use a trimmer thus you loose a reed that could have been better. She
recomened me to take sand paper and lightly remove some of the tip of the
reed off then adjust the reed a little bit. Does anyone else go by this rule?
