Subject: experience on tuning with super clewer

i bought some cheap BH's and changed key of C to natural minor tuning.
i didn't lowered the needed reeds by filing , instead of that i experimneted
with som super clewer , which i put on the top of the reed, in order to make
it heavier to recieive the needed deeper notes.
it worked, but i had to lower the notes as well by the common filing method at the
reeds nut, because if i had put too much clewer on the reed, i have to wait if it is
dry and correct it by filing again at the top, but then it could be the whole clewer
does not stay on the ree while i am filing and the whole proccess is worthless.

i also must says this a very dangerous method too ! a little clewer on different reeds and
there is big trouble. it is also dangerous to work with super clewer for your eyes and hands.
finally that method works and you don't need too much do filing on tha nut as with standard
method, but the risk is bit too high ...
the super clewer will stay on the reed , but if you will try it be shure, you have enough time
otherwise the danger of stupid accident is given ...

i won't do furthermore, it was just an experiment ...
