Hi David,

That's more along the lines of what I'm talking about. I still think it would be good to have something specific for uilleann pipe chanter reeds. The bridles are different. Dimentions are different. etc.

Your reed could get sharp if you expose it to heat... or just get hot!

Ouch! That last one hurt. I must admit though that I get sadistic pleasure adjusting my reeds like that.
