To soften these reeds, I have been using the technique of dipping the vamp section briefly in boiling water, which seems to soften them between 1/8 and 1/4 of a grade per dip. I have not tried to go any farther with this so far, since I am reluctant to risk making a reed unplayable on any mouthpiece. Has anyone tried to go farther than this without damaging the reed? If so, how much softer can you make the reed?
