Neil, the mouthpiece is still on the clarinet, without the ligature. I
hold the reed in my right hand, not parallel to, but perpindicular to,
the mouthpiece, place the tip of the reed on the bottom flat part of the
mouthpiece, then rub the tip of the reed gently gently for a few
seconds. I would rub it on a piece of glass, but this is quicker and I
have perfected the process over the years. ANNIE

Do you suppose this repeated rubbing/flattening of the reed against the
mouthpiece, in the same small place on the table, over & over again over
time, might alter the mouthpiece negatively?
