The ReedGeek Universal G4 pays for itself in a few different ways
First, there is the simple mathematical calculation you can make by increasing the number of reeds per box that suit you
Additionally, you can get longer life from your reeds, especially when they warp to a degree that you would ordinarily discard them
This "break even" happens within a few months for most professionals and easily within a year for students
More importantly though, you can get better performance out of any reed with the Universal G4
With its proprietary true edge-retention technology and superior U.S
steel blends, the ReedGeek G4 rivals even the most expensive reed knives sold today, with no sharpening required and no dangerous knife blade
Exciting features new to the G4 include a refined œpencil eraser radius ip and a comfortable rounded back scraper which offers further pinpoint scraping options
It offers four crisp planing edges and two new, elongated, contoured and curved rail bevels, which are specially designed to profile rails and re-contour the spine of both single and double reeds
The G4 is finished in a beautiful black diamond wear finish, which provides ultimate refinement of the cut on both natural cane and synthetic reeds
The tip of the tool features a gentle proprietary radius that can be used for precision scraping, including balancing the tip, adjusting the heart or other fine adjustments
The radius allows single-point contact for scraping very precise areas of the reed quickly
On each side of the scraper blade, there is a blade designed specifically to adjust or modify the rails of the reed
These blades quickly define the desired rail profile
ReedGeek's proprietary self-locking neoprene bag and case ensure years of reliable use
Consistency makes all the difference with reeds, and now with a little time and the ReedGeek Universal Classic, you can be sure to experience the same reed attributes every time you address the horn.
