Re: one incredible reed

Burning the tip off of the reed is an old fashion way of "clipping" a reed, before the invention of the modern types though I assume some folks still do it. I use a normal Cordier reed clipper. The one I use for bass clarinet is the same as the Ternor Sax clipper, the tips are the same. I learned how to tapper and clip a reed from my bass clarinet teacher, Joe Allard, and it works great on clarinet and bass reeds, as long as it's a good reed to start with, just a bit soft or worn. A good piece of cane is a good piece of cane, you just have to learn not to ruin it. I have that on my reed page on my site. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
