Re: Carving Reeds

Once you learn the proper way to use a reed knife for making certain adjustments you can do wonders to some reeds to balance then in certain places but it takes a lot of time by trial and error as well of the knowledge of where and how to "take" off some wood. Check my reed pages on my website to some hints and recommendations. Recommendation, practise on many bad reeds before trying to adjust a decent one. I've been very successful over the years in adjusting my reeds. I even have a video on U tube showing how to use a reed knife . Remember, almost all adjustments are made by gently scraping not cutting when adjusting a reed as apposed to making a reed which uses both techniques.
