 Un-warping reeds?
Author: MaDxClArInAtOr

I've been practicing a lot lately, and I've been very happy with the sound I'm getting.

After one day off (because I couldn't fit in any practice time), it feels like I'm back to square one, and I found that almost all of my reeds are warped. Those that weren't warped (including my best reed) produce a sound that's lifeless and brittle. Dynamic contrast is completely out the window.

I've tried trimming a few reeds and adjusting them, but I'm still unable to reproduce the sound I had two days ago.

Does warping mark the end of a reed's life-span, or is there hope in reviving it?
