I personally use sharpening stones or files. If the reed is wet much more wood
is taken away - I think its the same when You use sanding paper. If a file is
used or just a little planning is necessary the reed should be dry. And You
should think about the point where You put Your fingers on the reed. This has an
great effect.

Please mail if there are further questions.

Greetings Georg Kühner
