Let us know how this gadget works for you? I haven't bought one but may consider it, if you recommend it enough. I thought it could make it more difficult to "true" the line of the blades wrt. the staple, something I do by eye while wrapping.

I take it that either you are Israeli or that you are spending time there. Does the weather change a lot over there? How do reeds react to the climate?
Guilty as charged - don't get confused by the way my posts seem to come from various different places. I work for a multinational and our WAN tunnels to the web via edge servers all over the world. I live in Israel and rarely travel.
The weather here is generally hot and almost never drops below zero, unless you live in the Jerusalem hills or the Golan heights. We had our last rain shower about two months ago, and I don't expect to see any rain until late September. My reeds react more to changes in elevation than weather, though on particularly dry days it is a challenge to keep cane moist enough to play (it can dry out on-stage between movements of a symphony).
Quote:
In fact, it is much agreed that making reeds in the rain is a complete waste of time and cane.
I wish I had more opportunities to test this :(
