Unfiled
A reed is unfiled when bark from the reed’s shoulders remains intact. Many players enjoy the added resistance of this additional material.

• Getting the Most Out of Your Reeds

  - Be sure to thoroughly break-in and rotate your reeds.  Do not play each reed for more than a few minutes in the first days of use.

  - The acidity content in one’s saliva may negatively affect the life of a reed.  Consider using water to soak your reeds instead.  

  - Dark spots in the bark of the reed do not indicate that a reed will play poorly.
