 Re: NOS Olivieri reeds - how to make them better?

I don't know that much about the company, but I also used them back in the late 70s and early 80s. They were a very fine reed.

I can relate a story, and perhaps someone can fill in more details about the Olivieri company. I knew someone who was a very accomplished clarinetist who loved these reeds. He was on a trip to Europe (about 1980), and he visited the Olivieri factory in Spain. He showed me a picture of himself with an old man who was about 80 years old; perhaps it was Victor, or perhaps it was his son Charles, I don't know. My friend was concerned about what would happen to the quality of Olivieri reeds after the old man died. I'm not sure what happened to him, but from what my friend told me, the quality now just isn't the same. He's switched to Vandoren V-12s.
