Good video 👍. Tweaking reeds is something I find enjoyable. I like orange box Ricos because they have less consistency which means more reeds in the box have the unrefined "reedy" tone I like. I go through the box and grade each for tone and playability. Then I adjust them as necessary because the best sounding reeds could be hard to play or too soft. Some are beyond help (or I mess up) but that's okay because they're not expensive reeds and I often pick them up for cheap or even free from people "upgrading".
@@unclemick-synths I hear you, for a while I really got into tweaking my reeds and experimenting. But finally I settled on the vandorens for consistency, and right out of the box they play how I want them to play. Mainly just file and clip for longevity now!
