ReedGeek Plaque & Gauge Set - Reed Adjustment Companion | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
Introduction
The ReedGeek Plaque & Gauge Set (RGUPGS) is the essential companion tool for any woodwind player looking to get the most out of their ReedGeek reed tool. Designed for use with both single and double reeds, the set helps players quickly locate mouthpiece facing length, evaluate reed symmetry, and gauge precise adjustment positions for maximum vibrational efficiency. It's a smart add-on for advancing students and professionals alike who want more consistent, controlled reed work.
Product Overview
The Plaque mimics the contour of the mouthpiece table, allowing players to backlight the reed and inspect heart thickness, tip symmetry, and side rail alignment before making any adjustments. Its topside, marked "tip," can also be used to support the reed while working with a ReedGeek tool, keeping the tip from sagging during precise scraping.
The Gauge complements the Plaque by providing precise measurements of reed thickness at multiple points, helping players track their progress and make consistent, repeatable improvements over time. Together, the two pieces let a player quickly find the overall facing curve length of the mouthpiece and identify exactly where reed adjustment should begin.
Compact and simple to use, the set brings a new level of clarity and control to reed work, whether a player is fine-tuning a single new reed or systematically working through a box.
