Chris,

I found the most economical reed trimmer is a quarter and a match (or
lighter). Place the reed on the quarter with a bit of the reed tip over
the edge of the quarter. Burn the tip of the reed (from the under side)
with the lighter or match. You might want to rinse the reed off so it
doesn't taste sooty.
