Forrests Blend Guide Mandrel
Consistent and well matched "blend lines" (the region between the tip and heart) are vital to making reeds with great response and tone. Developed from a prototype created by Philip Freihofner and made in our shop, the Forrests Blend Guide makes it quick and easy to scrape consistent and well formed blend lines every time.
