Re: Cordier reed trimmer?

Matt -

The Cordier trimmers do in fact vary widely. What I do is move the butt of the reed off to the side, which moves the middle of the tip into a more curved area of the cutter. It's inconvenient, but no other reed trimmer clips as cleanly or reliably,

You could easily use an alto sax model, but that will leave the corners too high and sharp-pointed, so you'll have to do the rotation-and-trim on that, too.

After clipping, I use a Revlon Diamond Dust nail file to just touch the corners to ease the sharp point.
