Re: Cordier reed trimmer?

Matt,

I have also encountered this issue with the Cordier reed trimmer and I agree that the tip profile is too round.

Generally I trim reeds that have become too soft for my closed mouthpiece. Such reeds are usually well on the path of dying anyway. So I begrudgingly tolerate the curved profile of clipped the reed tip for the remaining two or three weeks left for the reed. Although I would much prefer a reed tip profile that more closely matches my mouthpiece.

Your assumption a tenor sax would have less of an arc makes sense. Please let us know if you are successful with this approach to let us know so we can use it ourselves. I'm especially curious as to the brand and size of the reed clipper,

Thanks,
Ron Jr.
