With their high cost, you want to get the most out of every synthetic reed you buy. And you don't want to mess up if you try to adjust them.
I have got a couple of Legere Signature tenor reeds that feel a bit too hard - too much air noise and a bit tiring to play as well as the lowest notes being a bit difficult.
Has anyone successfully adjusted these reeds and how did you do it ?
For example, scraping with a blade, using abrasive paper, filing ? How much material to remove and where from ?
Thanks
