@Robert, I completely agree - I forgot to mention that you throw the tube away once the reed dies.

The tube-squeezing technique is only for that specific case - you have a great reed that is too closed, and you need it to work NOW.

I have tried in the past to straighten squished tubes but with little success. If you force the mandrel all the way in you generally widen it beyond its original specifications, or you may even split the tube. Easier to throw it away.

Thanks for pointing this out!

J.
