Filed vs. Unfiled—What Does It Mean?
Filed
A reed that goes through one additional cutting process that removes bark from the reed’s shoulders. This allows for faster vibration.
Unfiled
A reed is unfiled when bark from the reed’s shoulders remains intact. Many players enjoy the added resistance of this additional material.
