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

I also used Olivieri in 1970's. Very fine looking.
I bought them again in 1990's. Ugly. It was like seeing a beautiful girl changing into a witch.

Look at one of them the sun on the back. There are many dark lines, that means the manufacturer did not dry them up long enough. (This is the easiest way to judge whether a reed is passable or not.)
Old Olivieri did not show those dirty lines. Their surfaces were more beautiful than those of any now-available reeds.
But these things are happening to Vandoren too, although it is not so bad as Olivieri.

Forget (i.e. burn them as fuel or make toothpicks) Olivieri, buy Rigotti. That is my suggestion.
