Reeds usually break at the weakest point, some horizontal milling mark or tuning scratch, where the stress is greatest (near the rivet pad). Polishing takes out some of those horizontal marks.

Can someone describe the method used to polish reeds and explain (near and briefly as possible) what the benefits are?
