A friend has asked me to adjust a spruce chanter reed. I have a spruce reg reed but it has never needed adjustment. I presume that the same rules apply as with cane reeds.
My intention is to inspect the reed, check for leaks, cracks, (add wax and hemp if necessary). The only adjustment I am envisaging is to the bridle, to open or close it, and maybe to the seating of the reed, nothing else.
Any particular “do’s and don’t’s” which apply to spruce reeds that I should be aware of?
