How to make your reeds play better in under 60 seconds!

Little reed tip for my woodwind players! #shorts #woodwinds

(This is a joke plz don't do this there is a way of shaving down your reeds to make them sound better but I have no clue how to actually do it and this was just for entertainment purposes)

Cool! Tried this on my flute, and the sounds of the razor scraping against the metal of the mouthpiece sounded just like the beautiful final result in this vid!! Thanks for the tips!

My percussionist ass thought he wasn’t kidding

As a bassoon player, I can safely say I was tricked.

Thanks! I tried this on my tenor and I sound so good everyone keeps staring and covering their ears whenever I play!! 🥰🥰

I don't use reeds, but I did this on my bow hair and it really works! You can barely hear when I play and my section in orchestra has never sounded better

[what_.a]

my bassist ass really trusted this guy 💀

[earrettzeah]

My clarinet playing ass sweating profusely at the mere thought of scratching my reed, please no💀

As a saxophonist, I was confused for a moment but then realised as soon as I heard the music 😂

I really said “i may not play woodwind, but this doesn’t look right to me”

[dsafasdfsdaful]

Dumb ways to die background music paired with the razor got my anxiety levels going up😂

[Why-are-there-handles]

Can’t wait to do this for my clarinet. My band teacher will be proud🥰

[Wealiko]

Yep, this works, basically makes your reed usable within minutes, instead of letting it settle over a couple of days. A great tip for the intermediate players.
Edit: I've watched the end, just wanna say that this really does work, been practicing it for years, especially handy when you need a new reed and find out about it 10 mins before you're supposed to play 🙃

I used to make my own oboe reeds and mess with alto reeds sort of like that. It’s pretty fun and it usually sounds pretty good as long as you don’t shave it too thin!

[codebruh]

Thanks for the advice man, now my saxophone is perfectly in tune with a rusty gate.

[HilaryLudkin-Finnie]

As a cellist I completely fell for it, I was going to show my sister who plays clarinet then I saw the end😂

[ryan_]

Me as a brass player learning sax: hmmm yes thank you for this crucial information on improving my tone!

[WallyInfinite]

As a tromboner I was suspicious at first but then I heard you play and I started crying tears of joy

[tornadoplays]

Welp that’s 60 seconds of my life I’m never getting back 🤣 also I just got a baritone and am wondering if you've got any tips? You seem to be pretty professional

Imagine having a disposable part of your instrument - *this comment was written by a trombonist*
