Re: Have you tried this method of reed adjustment?

Karl, it appears that you effectively hit the proverbial "nail right on the head".

What I was trying to get across is that some devices (I believe) can correct or refine the original manufacturing process which sometimes turns out uneven or slightly malformed cane reeds. To me, this "adjustment" may indeed help but can't really be looked upon as being "optimized" due to its being "isolated" from the entire clarinet.

Whatever tool is used to modify the cane reed either "on" or "off" the mouthpiece can only be verified for improvement towards optimization by playing it on the instrument.

Now, when it comes to Legere reeds, since no adjustment is possible, then a player will either have to go through a process of finding a mouthpiece whose facing parameters match the reed or find a maker of mouthpieces like Walter Grabner who modifies his facing arc numbers to properly match a specific strength of a Legere reed.

Thanks for your comments.
