Folk,

Is my memory failing again, or did Cordier once make a reed trimmer with a
lateral adustment? It seems to me that they did, and I long for something
like that now that my eyesight is going to hell. I have a terrible time
getting reeds positioned evenly side-to-side on my Cordier trimmer. I get
there eventually, but only after lots of fiddling.

Also, does anyone have experience with the Vandoren trimmer? Any other make
that you'd recommend?(I've tried the Rigotti's, but was sorely
disappointed,and Marca seems to be a re-labeled Cordier.)

Thanks.
