 Re: Softening Forestone reeds

I decided to try scraping the reed back first, as it's a process that I'm familiar with. It worked just fine, the reed now feels the same as a Rico Royal 3-3.5, but sounds different. I won't say better, because that's a subjective judgement. My wife thinks the Forestone sounds better. I did find that my favourite mouthpiece, Selmer B85-115, works less well with it than the one I carry as a spare, a Hite (model unknown).
