Re: Adjusting a Legere reed

Hummm, kinda surprised others haven't had good results the 'hot water dip' technique. I dipped a Legere Euro Signature 4 in hot tap water for five seconds and it changed dramatically ~ for the better. But I could have gotten lucky. I did notice over time (days?) it gradually stiffened back up, but not to the original hardness. Another quick hot dip (2 seconds?) got it to where it needed to be.

I appreciate the other suggestions with emery board...I'll have to check that out.
