Definitely cool ! Voilà the explanation for the 'one out of a box of 10' problem.

I have taken to sanding my new reeds before any use on the theory that if it makes them feel smoother (it definitely does) and more uniform then any variations in the reed tissue is at least patched over, making for a slicker air flow surface and allowing less saliva to enter and get trapped in the pores to cause degradation and warping. I have not yet learned (read not taken the time) to tweak a reed like Tim Ridenour does but just sanding gently on a glass plate does make a difference to me.
