 Re: Reeds: Sanding the flat side.

Whenever you remove material, you weaken the reed.


I've taken the "hanging off the edge approach" to treating the flat side of reeds (when and if I ever do this). But I had given up on sandpaper a LONG time ago. The only thing I used for years was a sharpening stone. This way you are guaranteed not to take off too much material. The process is really more akin to "polishing" the flat side.


The more recent step I took was the Vandoren "glass thingy" that came with a reed rush like glass wand. Though I can't even tell you when it was that I had used it last (that was a while ago).
