Inspired by a Master
This forming mandrel is inspired by the forming mandrels designed by Don Christlieb. This new version, similar to the original design, pairs perfectly with the Herzberg shape but works equally well with most shapes.
The mandrel includes several engraved lines: one which marks a recommended position for forming the tube, and one which marks a recommended position after beveling. The mandrel has also been extended to include a third line for contrabassoon reeds.
Elegantly flexible
Our modular mandrel system offers full flexibility with an elegant, space-saving design. The interchangeable mandrels match our standard ones but include added benefits. Multiple handle styles with a shared vice grip insert let you use them like any other mandrel. After forming, the mandrels can be placed directly into the wood drying board base – keeping the reed on the mandrel throughout for optimal control of the tube’s shape.
You can use multiple mandrel types with a single handle, minimizing clutter.
Our modular mandrel system now also includes our reamers.
