 Re: Cordier reed trimmer?

While shopping on line for a reed trimmer I came across this thread. The commemts on reed crafting were fascinating. Using a Canadian two dollar coin as a guide I was able to reshape a damaged reed end in just seconds with an emory board. Using toe nail clippers and sandpaper usually takes me about 15 minutes. Next I tried burning with the reed between two 2 dollar coins. Using a bic lighter the burning was slower than I expected but it did produce an even edge. The reed played with a mellow tone . The only drawback with the burned tip is that it is a bit hard to align the reed on the mouthpiece due to the black on black lack of contrast.
In light of these successes I am going to retire the toe nail clippers and abandon the search for a reed trimmer.
