Joe, just in case you haven't heard about this, you can reduce the
strength of a Legere by dipping it briefly in hot (near boiling) water
without damaging the reed. "Briefly" means a second or two, and the
result is in the range of one-half strength lower. The strength drops
more than this at first, but then it recovers a bit.
