Thanks for the info! I suppose a p32D high plate would help!
Another subject: tuning.
Often these reeds are tuned to A-442Hz or are just off, period. I made a special testing tube that I can use to help play the reed while I go at it with a file. It’s OK , but it’s still a tedious process! Has anyone had success with the “drop of nail polish on the reed” trick? I’d like to avoid scraping the reed as much a possible, and flattening the pitch with nail polish (which itself can be delicately rasped) seems like a good idea!
