Regarding crimping;

I have done this in the past, but it rarely works for closing down a reed. Better to use a wire in this case. Insert the mandrel, withdraw it a couple of millimeters and then crimp with pliers on the thread.

Crimping is done a couple of millimeters behind the staple tip, the staple tip remains oval shaped. The change in angle that the crimping induces is what changes the reed tip opening (imagine the extreme end of the staple as invariant, crimping behind this parallel to the reed blades will open the reed further). If you crimp the extreme tip of the staple, the reed is useless and can be thrown away.

And always throw away a crimped staple once you've finished with it - it will never make a stable reed again.
