I was using the first version and now the second version of the Reed Wizard over the past five or six years. I use it to balance
and remove mass from clarinet and alto sax reeds. It won't make bad reeds play well but it does make good reeds play better.
I am looking forward to trying the third version of the wizard. I also use many of Ben Armato's principles as described in his Perfecta Reed manual.
