 RE: Sandpaper for reeds...

I think mw just about said it all, but I would like to add that in fixing reeds the most important thing seems to be matching reed strength to mouthpiece and embouchure! I think (and I am not saying that you do this) that people use too hard a reed because there is some unspoken code that harder is better. Or they buy hard reeds to work them down. It seems to me the less you do to a reed, the better off you are. As for answering your question directly, I use copy paper and 1500-grit sandpaper on store bought reeds if they need it.

I have made many bad reeds decent reeds but have rarely made a bad reed a great reed.
