Question? What is the best method for trimming Boyesen Reeds (the 613 Husky reeds) to fit into a Hodaka reed cage? I was going to file them to size, but I didn't know if there were more suitable ways to get them to the right size.

Thanks

small dremel cut off wheels work good then finish fit with emery cloth laying on flat surface then sanding holding the pedal . I can supply double carbon fiber pedals that work better than four smaller pedals

Thanks for the information Rich. I already have a couple of sets of the Boyesen reeds, but I will get with you on the carbon reeds for my next project. Thanks again.

dirty_rat,

I saw your message on Saturday but held off on responding for two, -- no, make that three, reasons.
1. I wuz kind of "slammed" with spring chores.
2. While I knew exactly how I would go about trimming reeds, I wasn't sure that the method I would use is THE method which is used by guys who really know their stuff.
3. I suspected that Rich (racerclam) would see the post and respond sooner or later . . . and he really knows his stuff on this topic. And sure enough he did respond - and now we all know the right way to go about trimming reeds by way of advice from an expert on the topic! Kewel!
