oh hey, i did a search for reed sanding and your channel came up! cool to see you're out there sharing info and ... not making it too complicated as i get back into playing more clarinet! - al

@barryfleischer6553 Жыл бұрын

I tried your method on my baritone saxophone reeds, so far I'm quite impressed. Sealing those pores is very important. Thanks for the tip. I just sanded the back and the heart. I had some baritone reeds that were too strong and unplayable, your method has made them absolutely playable.

@Laxphe 11 ай бұрын

Just started doing this today with my saxophone reeds. At first it feels like you aren’t making any progress and for me the reed was still stuffy after doing it but once you do it a little longer and trust the process it actually works now I have two concert ready reeds instead of one. Thanks!

@klarinetta Ай бұрын

I use just a blank white paper(printer paper) to just smooth it out before I play-test the reed then I start to work on it. I think it's important to know what is going on with the reed before you work on it. By doing this I can be sure that the reed will "break-in" evenly,be stable and last a long time.

@Jaujau933 Жыл бұрын

Been doing this for years, you don't need any glass just a good flat surface. 🙂

@MayfieldCreations Жыл бұрын

I use the Vandoren Reed Resurfacer (reed glass) and have been happy with it.

@edepillim Жыл бұрын

We have to wet reeds. In fact it has been recommended that we immerse a reed so water enters the minute tubes at the thick end. So how does sealing the pores help. After all a dry reed dies not work well. I am confused.

@thomashowe5256 Жыл бұрын

Informative video; how do you decide when a reed is ready for “prime time”?

@callyclarinet Жыл бұрын

When it's up to 15-20 mins of playing time

@barryfleischer6553 Жыл бұрын

I use a Reed Geek, have you tried one? also I'm very impressed with the Didarrio Venn synthetic reeds. They look and feel like a real reed, its made with reed fibers. The advantage is if your a doubler as I am when your clarinet is not being used the reed isn't warped when your part says " Switch to clarinet". They project quite well and last for months of heavy plying. What Kind of mouthpiece did you mention you use? I kept screwing up my reeds with sandpaper.

@callyclarinet Жыл бұрын

Yeah, the reed geek is good! I keep losing track of it, though, lol. I switch between the BD5 and B40 Lyre.

@ivyart3737 7 ай бұрын

Im trying to adjust reeds for the first time What sandpaper would you suggest?

@callyclarinet 7 ай бұрын

600 should be fine, if you're really nervous you could go as fine as 1200

@MrDavidFitzgerald Жыл бұрын

Interesting tip about lower register. I went straight into playing high overtones on my tenor with my new $6 reed when I switched to cane. It lasted 2 days and now doesn't play at all. I mean literally nothing.

Good info ℹ️. Got bored with the BD5???? 😳 Compare the b40£ & BD5 please

@callyclarinet Жыл бұрын

I have that on my list!! I'm trying to figure out how to make it informative... I'm worried it will end up being a boring video of me just being indecisive lol

@jimis3167 Жыл бұрын

b40l is better imo

@bluessax5089 7 ай бұрын

Do you wait a full day before you play each reed again?

@callyclarinet 7 ай бұрын

No, I don't. Not sure if it makes much of a difference now. (PS, thanks for giving my old content some view time!)

@kobila100 Жыл бұрын

So, you don’t use the ATG system? I just watched that video you created. Now I am confused!

@callyclarinet Жыл бұрын

ATG is good for adjusting, especially reeds that are stuffy or old reeds that need new life. This method is good to use when breaking in new reeds, and have found that they last longer and play more consistently.

@jimis3167 Жыл бұрын

For me, I find better smoothing only the back part of the reed. I don't like smoothing the front, my lip likes the roughness on reeds. When I was also smoothing the front part, the lip-feeling was becoming like synthetic reeds, too smooth, didn't like.

@ankajofred 4 ай бұрын

Do you ever soak your reeds?

@callyclarinet 4 ай бұрын

Yes, but I only reeds that are old/dried out

@jimis3167 Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't change from V12s, I suggest you continue playing them on B40L

Do you approve of plastic reeds?

YES! I haven't given them much time myself but I know people who play on them and you can't tell the difference in sound! Definitely worth a try!

@@callyclarinet Thanks. See you for lesson Wednesday.

@lucasferrer7005 Жыл бұрын

to seal the pores and make it smooth use notebook sheet of paper... to make the modifications as Tom ridenour teaches use sand paper...also to smooth the back of the reed you put the paper onto the glass and the reed on top and from there move the reed in circles pressing down ... like you are showing may damage the reed, it´s taking unecesary risk. I like the work you do in your channel but in this case you are giving bad advice.

@callyclarinet Жыл бұрын

No offense taken! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, as I am sure some viewers are hesitant to try this for the same reasons you mention. I understand it is a bit strange and may not work for everyone. Putting a reed flat on the paper has never worked as well for me as this, so I hope it will help others who are curious to try something different.

@AUsableUsername_ 19 күн бұрын

I wouldn't say this is bad advice, this is advice my own lesson teacher has given me, but since I don't have 600 grit sandpaper, I use a sheet of paper and sand the backside first, and then do the front side second with a small, folded piece of paper
