 Re: A reed playing too sharp?

I have found that with the addition of a wire - it is much easier to play in pitch.

The wire is one more way to create reed/pitch stability since the wire maintains a stable and adjustable reed opening.

You can lower pitch with a slightly larger opening and conversely lower it with a narrower opening.

In the past I was at the mercy on the curvature of the cane and its idiosyncratic attributes. However, there is only so much you can do to a piece of cane with the knife to adjust particular properties.

Wire, gives you one more tool to use - to adjust the cane's behavior.!

So before you toss out a reed - experiment with a wire - it just might save it and even more - make it into a good playable reed.
