Compact

Our compact series of mandrels is exactly the same as our full size mandrels, but with a smaller handle.

This smaller handle is designed for musicians who travel a lot, have smaller hands, or are just looking for a smaller handle on their reed making tools. It offers space savings while still providing enough handle to have a solid grip on the tool.

Our Forming Mandrels

    • Standard

      The classic forming mandrel. The forming mandrel is 2.3 mm wide at the tip and has a two-part progression towards the back to allow the reeds to be gently opened from the inside.

      Ideal for smaller shapes and those who prefer reeds which are less round in the area of the first two wires.

    • PLUS

      For those who prefer a more rounded throat we have developed, together with Prof. David Petersen, the forming mandrel PLUS. The tip is 3.2 mm wide, which helps give reeds a larger and rounder throat opening.

      Ideal for wider shapes and those who prefer a larger inner cavity in the their reeds.

Harmony

Our compact forming mandrels and reamers are designed to harmonize with one another.
Their parabolic design allows for a smooth airflow and solid seat on the bocal.

Ergonomic

The ergonomic wooden handle of our reed making tools provides
for ease of use and is made of oiled beechwood.
