          It is a rubber one.

            Anybody have any experience adjusting and trimming a carbon fiber onyx reed? My two original soft onyx reeds are easy to blow. My one medium soft onyx reed needs some adjustment. The two soft onyx reeds that I got yesterday need adjustment. My reed wizard didn’t seem to do the job. I have the Reed Geek and today I’ll put the reed geek to the test. Or do I resort to Sand paper and Jack Hammer.?

              Looks like the sand paper P1500 did the job. I attached the sand paper to my 30 year old rubber sanding block, a few swipes and I got a nice onyx reed. Good enough for government work.

                  Thanks Johnny
                  I saved the instructions in a folder on my desk top.

                    Hey Johnny somewhere i read you found the carbon reed harder or softer than designated numbers

                      I chose the Onyx medium reed and find it plays just like my vandoren java #3.
