Hi,

I wondered if I could add a contribution to this long running thread?

I just bought a copy of the ATG Reed Finishing System and it also works brilliantly for me.

I've been having problems with biting and with the airy noise when I try to play quietly, and to start long tones quietly.

I did what the kit says. With my first go, the reed now plays from ppppp (so to speak) at the beginning of the long tone, without any airy noise. I also don't have to change my air and embouchure to make the note start. This seems pretty ideal.

I did get one thing wrong. I washed the sawdust off the reed so I wouldn't get it in my mouth, and I think the tip got a bit wet, because on my second pass with the sanding block I chipped a hole out of the tip of the reed. Oddly, it still plays maginificently, even with the bit missing from the middle.

I noticed that before I started sanding the reed was a bit warped. When I laid it on the glass block, both corners at the tip lifted up off the glass, but it didn't seem to be a problem.

People have commented to me (offlist) that the kit seems expensive. However, it's clear to me that Mr Ridenour has thought a lot about this work, and I like that a musician has the sense to charge for his intellectual property. I reckon if computer scientists and lawyers can do it, then I have no problem with musicians doing it.

I hope this is okay as a contribution. I haven't read the whole thread, but just wanted to add my experience to this one central location for the subject.

Jennifer
