The contoured bits on the Reed Geek get a LOT of use in our household (both my wife and I are pro clarinettists, she doesn't work on reeds though so I have to provide her with with a supply of adjusted reeds as well as working on my own). There's more to the Reed Geek than just the "straight bits"
I was quite resistant to this tool for a long time. My "go to" tools were, for many years...
- Knife (used "with the grain"), rolled up sandpaper around a pencil (used "against and across the grain"), and little bits of reed rush (for targeting single zylem/outcrops etc).
At clarinetfest 2021 I tried out the Reed Geek and ended up buying one, it does all the jobs I used to use Knife and Rush for and most of the jobs I used to use sandpaper for.
