Re: Warped Legere Reeds??

My situation may have been caused by the friction of pulling them in and out of the Rico guard which I at first thought would help train them straight after playing. But maybe keeping them tight in a reed guard caused the same sort of reaction you get when you pass a ribbon across a pair of scissors.

The corner edge of about three (out of twenty) has ever so slightly curled back out away from the mouthpiece. In my case it is fractionally so and does not affect the playing condition of the reed in any way that I notice. But I have moved away from the "binding" reed guard and have noticed no such effect since.
