Helpful Tips:
-when you receive your reeds, slightly dampen them &, if necessary, pinch the sound box.
Pinching will ease it & allow easier blowing-in experience.  You may pinch the reed ocasionally to maintain the ease of blowing.
-if, after pinching, the reed is still too strong, you may need to slightly scrape the blades of the lay (the top half of the reed).
Do only a little at a time and evenly on each side.  Use a very sharp utility knife and scrape lightly.
A rubber band (3/16" diameter & force 4 oz) placed just above the black hemp wil ease the reed too.
-if you find the reed is flat on the 'F', pinch the reed; applying rubberbands may help too.
If you have this problem with an easier reed, you can trim the tips of the blades with a very sharp knife.
