Re: Sanding back of reeds

Thanx for all the replies! It sounds like maybe I should get myself a decent reed knife and stop using sandpaper. Grifffinity, those are good advice (keeping the tip off of the sandpaper, and going in one direction), but unfortunately that's what I've been doing without much success..

GBK, I am using the Vandoren reed case which holds 4 reeds, and it has grooves which I have heard is good because of the air which then circulates between the reed and the surface (bad explanation but you all know what i mean!). So isn't it bad keeping them on a glass surface, since the water/moisture has no where to "escape", causing the reeds to warp after a while? Just wondering...
