Just read a posting about the ATG System and the Reed Wizard.
I before had posted a rave about the ATG system, but as I was still
using the old Reed Wizard, I didn't like it as much. I now have the
new Reed Wizard which is greatly improved.

The old Reed Wizard uses a bastard file for the cutter - the new one
doesn't. It uses a metal bar which works really well and doesn't gouge
the reed whatsoever. The new blade is very, very easy to clean, almost
self cleaning. Also the new Reed Wizard works on a lot more of the
vamp of the reed than the original did. It to me is significantly
better than the old version of it and I highly recommend it to anyone
looking for a great system to fix reeds easily and effectively with. I
use the ATG system for the tip of the reed balancing - the rest of the
reed I use the Reed Wizard for, and the combination of systems works
tremendously well.
