Vandoren Reed Resurfacer Alternative

Author: SecondTry  Date:   2021-04-20 23:52 I like this product. The wand it comes with is less useful for me. I guess I like moving the reed against the grinder rather than vice versa, much as their are situations where doing the opposite is probably best, as I do with other reed adjustment tools. The grit on the one I bought years ago has worn down. Off I went to price another and at $60 for an etched piece of glass that size....I shook my head. After finding glass nail files too narrow to serve my reed adjustment purposes I stumbled upon and bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TBS96SS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's a larger piece of etched glass designed to remove dead skin. It's $13, not $60. It arrived today and I feel like it will definitely be useable as a reed resurfacer: its grit slightly more abrasive than a new Vandoren reed resurfacer, but nothing I can't compensate for by applying less pressure with my reed against its surface. Thought I'd share.
