Re: What Separates Average Tone from Exceptional?

One of the first things Kal Opperman taught me was to sand down the sides of the reed until it was slightly narrower than the mouthpiece lay (maybe 0.1 or 0.15 mm). Be sure not to curve the sides in, which will open a leak at one or the other corner of the tip.

Then center the reed on the table, hold it with your thumb, give a toot on open G, and move the reed from side to side in microscopic increments.

There will be one point where the resonance suddenly peaks. Carefully put the ligature on to anchor the reed on the resonant point.
