  use the blue sanding sticks which Pat Missin always talks about.  belt of 
emery paper which you inch round as you tune.  Great to handle and you only 
need to change the belt several reed plates. You can make the belts in a 
couple of minutes.

I narrow the point width  of the device down to just over 1/8" to allow it 
comfortably to get between windsavers... on diatonics (non valved) you 
don't need to do this.
