Flattening back of reed

Author: Arnoldstang

This is an inexpensive tool. I use the edge on the side of another reed and go back and forth on the bottom
of the reed at perpendicular and 45 degrees. Mostly this is the middle of the reed not touching the tip or extreme butt. I do this after a playing session when the reed has lots of moisture. It cleans the surface and perhaps keeps things a bit flatter.
No big claims here just a procedure I employ like swabbing out the clarinet. It’s a very gentle Reed Geek.
