Re: Cordier Reed Trimmer Differences

I once bought a cheap Chinese soprano sax reed trimmer, with a very similar profile as that of the Vandoren V12 reeds (which are less rounded than most other reeds). The profile of an alto sax reed trimmer was too flat, as that of a tenor sax - which is usually the same as for bass clarinet reeds.

I eventually bought also a Rigotti soprano clarinet reed trimmer, where the profile is a good match to my mouthpieces. However, build quality and materials which are partly plastic are lower compared to the Cordier, and the adjustment screw design makes it clumsier to carry around.
