I tried Peter's suggestion on a cor reed that is beautiful but has an appalling buzz. I used a flat plaque and used it to move the blades apart slightly. There was some excess cane between the blades (as though someone shaped it without a sharp blade, a fuzzy finish to the shape), but not enough to cut off. I am going to attempt to run a thin piece of sand paper between the blades. If I kill the reed, I don't think it will be a problem as I refuse to play it at this point in time! Will let you know how I go.

I don't think mine is a balancing issue because I can actually feel the buzz on the side of the reed as I play it. I suspected a leak but I can't see one, so hopefully this will do the trick.
