Is This A Tool For Cutting Reeds?

[Tom_Dowling]

In hopes that I do not create a bidding frenzy, I was wondering if anyone can identify the item in the following E-Bay auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2547665649&indexURL=0&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting

I’m guessing it is a tool for cutting reeds, and will, without doubt, be smote for my hubris.

What is it?

Yep, it’s a gadget for trimming the tips of single reeds. I have one for trimming alto sax reeds. Very handy.

Which brings me to my next question:

How much should you tip a mohel?

[Tom_Dowling]

Well, not only did I guess correctly, but I (apparently) now know how to spell Mohel. All these years, I though it was moil or perhaps moyel.

Leben und lernen!
