Re: Sanding Reeds, Top or Bottom?

I use the ATG system on every reed. Even ones that I like out of the box can usually be improved. When I first started using it I wouldn’t dare use it on “good reeds” as I would sometimes ruin them. But now that I have refined my technique I can’t imagine playing a reed that hasn’t been adjusted. Like any great oboist or bassoonist, you have to know how to work with the cane to get the best and most consistent results. People have different techniques and tools. Sometimes I adjust a reed after a couple weeks as it will change slightly. Again, oboists and bassoonist a will do the same, sometimes scraping at a reed during rehearsals.
