Traditional reed players carry a piece of reed rush in their instrument
case. The rush is a small piece of a special reed which is abrasive
and allows the player to file the thickness and length of the reed
to fit individual preferences. Due to the slight variations in most
reeds, professionals seek to produce reeds with a similar sound. However,
these traditional reed rushes eventually wear down.
The traditional abrasive reed rush is replaced with a Permanent
Reed Rush, a small file with very fine abrasive surfaces. These
surfaces are configured in various shapes that allow the modification
of the reed's length and thickness. The total length of the file
and handle is 4 inches. The Reed Rush is packaged with a pocket
clip.
