Carving Reeds

Author: Filettofish

Hello clarinet players, I want to ask you all about your opinions on carving clarinet reeds; is carving clarinet reeds actually worth it? Will it ruin the sound if I alter the reed? I understand that since their reeds are more temperamental and are often handcrafted by the player, oboe and bassoon players often slice and dice their reeds. Would trimming a clarinet reed be at all beneficial? Basically, do I invest in a knife and learn to trim my own reeds? Thanks for the help in advance!
