Re: Wavy Reed Tip

Although I agree with both statements from the two above if the reed is playing well it's basically meaningless as long as you wet and flatten the tip before playing it. Just press the tip on a flat surface with a little thumb pressure after wetting it a bit. Once it flattens out it's playable again. The tip is so much thinner then the rest of the reed it will dry first no matter what you do. It's how it plays flatten not how it looks wavy. Check my website for some reed tips on my reed pages.
