Re: Cordier soprano sax reed trimmer

I very quickly came to understand what Brad meant- the Vandoren V12 trimmer cuts very well, and gives you the flatter profile of the V12 reed. However it is designed to be used with V12 reeds and does not easily accommodate other brands/styles of reeds with different shaped heel, and/or different LENGTH blanks (as you may have when making your own reeds, or trying to apply the V12 tip shape to other brands).
I can't think of any time when I personally use a reed trimmer on a V12 reed, but appreciate that others may use the trimmer primarily for "hardening" V12s they find too soft. I want it not to use on V12s, but to apply the tip shape.
