Hello Duduk-lovers,

I have 3 reeds which are to hard (to thick) to blow.
I want to abrasive, sanding down them a bit, to make it softer.
Where is the good position for abrasive?
On top (at the reed-lips) or in the middle, or the whole reed?

second question: is it a good idea to oil the reed a bit to make it smooter?
(e.g. almond oil)

Thanks for professional help on this issues.

Regards from Switzerland
