 Re: Sanding Reeds, Top or Bottom?

Some folks believe in sanding the flat side of the reed (the part that goes against the table of the clarinet mouthpiece) to make sure it is perfectly flat against the mouthpiece.

A lot of players adjust (sand/knife/reed cane/etc.) the top or "upper lip side" in order to balance a reed from side to side, lighten the feel of a hard reed, or otherwise adjust the playing characteristics of a reed.
