Reed Support Tool and Plinker

Reed support tool and plinker

This tool has tips that have been carefully prepared using a five-step process. It will get under even the most closely gapped reeds.

Advance the tool at a sharp angle to get under the reed.

The tail supports a reed while tuning. Use the tail to support the blow reeds while they are still on the comb. Support the reed when lowering the pitch by advancing the tail to the back wall of the slot.

This will ensure you do not bend your reeds out of shape as you tune them.

Use this tool along with the brass reed tools to shape your reeds, too.
