Reeds, Reeds, Reeds…
We never stop, they never change; we run in circles, trying to find the perfect reed.
Some people say keeping a reed journal is pointless, as all you are doing is keeping record and it has no influence on what you do. But, if you use the journal with a purpose, with intent to make things better, or to notice changes, then using a journal is a great journey to go on.
Make sure to mark profiler setting changes, soaking procedure changes, the length of time the cane has soaked between stages; anything that is able to be changed, should be marked down for reference. If we know what we changed, then we have more information for future adjustments.
