The principles of the Reeds 'n Stuff guillotine guarantee perfect cuts.
Using the millimeter scale, including markings for common bassoon and contrabassoon reed lengths, you can select any length desired.
Reeds with a width of up to 22 mm can be cut with the guillotine.
If needed, the hardened steel cutting unit can be resharpened by us.
My blade does no longer look good. What can I do about the tarnish?
You can remove the tarnish with metal polish.
Why is there some tarnish on my blades?
The reason why we use a steel that creates a patina over use is a technical one. The cutting abilities of such a steel are better than those of stainless steels.
What can I do to check the quality of the cut?
You can check the cut by trying to cut a piece of cigarette paper. If the blade does the job then there is no need to exchange them. If they do not, it can be for two reasons:
1. The blade is really blunt. Then an exchange of blades would be good.
2. The 4 screws that hold the front blade are too loose. Tighten them just enough the cutting blade can be moved tight up and down.
