Don’t quite follow your reply Jeanette. If you have one, what do you think of it ? Is/was it worth the rather high price ?
Sorry, yes it was a link to another members post.Don’t quite follow your reply Jeanette. If you have one, what do you think of it ? Is/was it worth the rather high price ?
Thanks ......... the first phrase of your reply sounded a warning to me. You say, “If you know how to adjust redds ...... “. Well of course, I don’t know, but thought a ReedGeek might help me learn.If you know how to adjust reeds, I found it to be the easiest tool of its type particularly if one wishes to adjust in small areas but I have used razor blades, pocket knife and a small chisel, (as a scraper). I have a couple of reedgeeks that,, like the rest of my reed adjusting tools, sit in wait for the day that I go back to cane.
Mmmmmm ........... I’m seriously tempted to go down the Legere route. Are the “Signature” Legeres so very different to other types ?I used this system for several years during the recovery phase of reed geekdom until I discovered Legere Signatures
How does one go about learning to adjust reeds ? Who teaches such mysterious skills ?
Thanks so much. Hours of study ahead !there are websites and youtube videos if you google 'how to adjust saxophone reeds'
