Re: Have you tried this method of reed adjustment?

Interesting info from Ben Redwine on Asymmetrical facings. I thought there was more to it than that such as the effects of "fluid dynamics" and eddys. Addressing this (what I believed) was meant to help prevent the reed from binding during vibration......."squeaking."'

All I know for sure is that I have collected a number of old Hawkins R facings and had them meaured by Dave McClune. Turns out one that was custom made for a prominent Japanese clarinetist has an asymmetrical facing. It is off one number down the line on one side and it plays just as great (free blowing) as the other three.

For those who know what these numbers mean it is:

1.04 tip opening
5-6
11-12
20-22
31-32
