Re: Have you tried this method of reed adjustment?

My disagreement is in the implication that placement on the mouthpiece is subjective (though you may not be saying that ……clarify?). A mouthpiece (unless created with a purposely asymmetrical facing) has very close, identical tolerances on both sides: length of facing, style of curve, thickness of rails, depth to baffle. Just a minor angle off axis throws that all into peril. I realize that an immediate action can be taken if a particular reed comes up heavier on one side (and cane is rather forgiving). But this is NOT the ideal and should be avoided. The various adjustment systems are arbitrary, but if they aid getting a better symmetry on a reed, and it works, then I’m all for it. Personally, I was always better off just living with what I got out of a box after rehydrating.
