Re: Reed Trim Sand

By trimming tip you have effectively shortened the tip portion so rather than thinning it you need to move the already thin tip area a little back towards the butt.
I would prefer to use a reed knife to do this as can be more selective in the area worked on but using say 400 grit try and avoid the very end area of the tip as far as possible.
For a reed that plays at correct strength but has a slightly chipped tip I would choose not to clip the end as reed will probably work better with a small chip than after being clipped.
