Reed Shaving Experiment – with nail file

[john]

Good lesson there. Some people just open a box and expect the reed to play…even worse, many beginners will only buy 2 or 3 reeds at a time… what if those were the worse reeds from that box? There goes a few weeks or months of some grueling practice sessions.

Yes i’m definitely going to buy a box of reeds next time. its a toss up between vandorin 1.5, Rico 2 or RicoRoyal 1.5! and i also need to invest in a reed case as well to hold the good ones.

I just keep em in the little individual plastic cases they come it…the Vandoren’s that is.

[john]

yeah i could that, i’d just have to mark the plastic cases with the good reeds in with a felt tip.
