To avoid the cost of a stable of reed trimmers (I play alto, tenor, bari and soprano saxes, plus clarinet), I bought a Runyon reed burning tool. It's a flat piece of metal with outlines for clarinet and the various sax reeds and a strip of fine sandpaper. You hold the reed on the metal in the proper position and burn the unwanted tip off. It works well, assuming you position the reed carefully, and a burned tip plays as well as a clipped tip... some say better. I understand the real old-timers carried coins of the proper size.
