Thanks Daryl, I'll give it a try this evening!
Fibracell reed drilling?
Greetings,
I just bought a Fibracell reed. It plays really like cane, to my surprise. It would make a great reed for shedding or even performing for that matter. But it's a little to hard for my taste. It's a medium and a medium soft would be better. Unfortunately my dealer has run out of medium soft Fibracell.
Is it a good idea to drill the reed like you can do with regular cane? Or would I ruin this expensive reed?

I sanded the reed a litte bit like Daryl suggested ... it plays wonderfull!
Great sound with the correct reed strength. Couldn't be hapier ... well I could but thats not part of this scope.
I hope it lasts long, very long. I noticed a drop in strength even further after more than an hour playing but that seems normal according to other threads.
Thanks!
