Re: Cordier soprano sax reed trimmer

Wow! That's pretty severe!

I haven't tried the soprano sax trimmer, so I can't answer your question directly.

However, I do have two Bb Clarinet Cordier trimmers that are several decades old and which I used to use extensively.

If memory serves me correctly (as I don't generally trim my reeds now-a-days), the shape of the cutter was suited well to the shape of my mouthpieces as long as I only cut a hairs-width or two from the reed at a time - it kept the corners the correct shape. It does seem like I had to be careful not to cut too much off at a time, or the shape wouldn't match my mouthpiece - though I don't remember it as being anything as extreme as in your photo.
