For clipping the tips of oboe or English horn reeds, precise cuts, with mm scale.
The guillotine can cut reeds up to 22mm in width.
The principle of the guillotine guarantees perfect cuts. With the mm scale you can select the length of the reed between 10 and 80 mm. Scraped and unscraped reeds can be cut to any length desired. The adjustable length stop can be preset if you are always using the same lengths. If ever needed, the hardened steel cutting unit can be resharpened.
Even hairthin cuts can be done with precision thanks to the windows, which enable you to view the cutting spot from multiple angles.

The reed holder can easily be changed. This allows you to use your reed guillotine for all reeds of the oboe family.

Wonderful Little Nipper
I'm about to start the arduous task of learning to scrape my own reeds, I also can't cut a straight line to save my life. This little guillotine takes the guesswork out of measuring the length of the reed, or the straightness of the cut. I couldn't be happier with the results. Additionally, it's built like a small tank, with a reversible guide for EH reeds.
