I understand the concept he is doing there.
basically using a metal tool, that won't bend to flatten a reed.
The sandpaper - really fine sandpaper, is also really flat. BUT what is most important is the surface you put sandpaper on. which *has* to be flat - no regular table tops (the same holds for mpc refacers)
I've used reed knives etc in the same method he has. his tool should last a bit longer but what about wear ? At some point i would think it stops "shaving" and pushes flat the fibers (requiring more input)
He also has a couple other "designs" on his tool which assist in the cut from the thinner part of the reed to the back part; rails etc. But - without really using it - i wonder how it accomodates the differing reed designs and a nice flexy reed.
of course, holding a reed, it will flex in all ways too given enough pressure. Thus the reason I think Vandoren etc use a flat surface. You put a reed on a flat surface then scrap using the reed structure itself to less flex versus this method.
It's an interesting tool .. any takers ?
