Is there a good/easy way to arc reeds up?
Currently I support the tip and push down with a toothpick to arc up, but that can create a dip into the slot towards the rivet which is bad, is there a better way?
Actually, a small dip at the rivet side of the reed (3/4 of its
thickness) is a good thing for compression. But I suggest that you arc
the reeds up by working with the toothpick from the underside at the tip
and supporting the reed with the finger in the upper part.
All the best,
Fernando
