For me the reed needs to be broken in to get the best sound.The only way to break it in is to use it and practice.My wife loves it when I practice in the house.John
I just experienced this myself last night after buying a reed and not being able to get it flat to roof of mouth. I trimmed the edges and it still didnt fit so I guess I will trim more until if fits. I also assumed the rounded edge of reed went towards the front of my mouth.
I buy a bunch until I find the ones that fit just right. I usually carry 5-6 of my favorites and the rest I leave in camp.
