 Reed Adjustment
Author: BGBG 
Date:   2015-09-26 02:14

Have been able to get 5 of my oldest reeds to play fair to good by sanding and clipping as per various tutorials and videos.
I play and evaluate a reed and do what I think is needed and test again. I don't know If it is this simple but I would like to know what is appropriate for a reed that when blow it blocks or clamps shut. Does it need sanding because it is too hard or clipping because it is too thin? And if it wavers and squeaks and varies in pitch does it need clipping because it is too soft? Or do you just start out by sanding the bottom anyway? I guess I am asking is my interpretation correct. It does seems to be working, what I am doing, but I would like some opinions.
