Reeds 'n Stuff Bassoon Mandrel Ejector Ring and Reamer Stop

The ejector ring for bassoon reeds is used to easily detach the reed from the mandrel after the wire has been fixed. In addition, by using an ejector ring you avoid twisting the reed when pulling it off the mandrel, which would otherwise lead to undesired blade slippage.

Due to it's unique design, the ejector ring can be set to any desired position on the mandrel.

The ejector ring fits on all mandrels with a maximum diameter of 6 mm, and can also be used as a depth stop on our spiral-fluted and diamond-coated reamers.

Use the Ejector Ring as a depth stop, so that your reeds are always formed the same way and you do not have to remember how far above or below the line you form your reeds.

Turn the silver portion of the Ejector Ring to begin pushing your reed off the mandrel.

Using the Ejector Ring allows you to easily remove the reed without twisting the tube and causing blade slippage.

Using the included hex key you can adjust the position of the Ejector Ring to any position on the forming mandrel you desire.

The Ejector Ring can also be used as a depth stop on the spiral reamer, allowing for a consistent final diameter when reaming the inside of the tube.

Similarly, the Ejector Ring can be used as a depth stop on the diamond reamer, providing consistency from reed to reed.
