Can Tuning the reeds up one note?

Usually the reason for a note sounding so low in pitch is that the reed tongue is cracked, and needs to be replaced.  It is sometimes possible to tune a reed up by a semitone (like E to F) but it does require some skill and a very good file.

@TheoThanks,I was wondering if it was shipped with the wrong tuning at the time of manufacture. Because I heard that this instrument was purchased 15 years ago and hadn't been used much.

I'll check the reed
