The Caleb-1 and Joshua+2 shapes are newly approved by Hodge Products and, through comparison testing of reeds, are deemed to produce reeds that are very close to the reeds produced by the shaper tips of the same names. The other shapes are untested copies of the original shaper tips by the same (or similar) name. They may or may not match your experience with the shaper tip of the same name. The forms have a 30-day trial period in which you can send it back for a full refund.
These shaper forms all fit the Reeds 'n Stuff Shaping Machine.
In order to guarantee absolute symmetry, Reeds 'n Stuff manufactures their shaping forms using the latest CNC technology. Through complex hardening processes in a vacuum, the contour remains unchanged cut by cut. Tool steel of the highest quality guarantees this for many years.
