Re: [Harp-L] What Dremel tip? (was Nail polisher for tuningreeds)

["Vern Smith" <jevern@xxxxxxx>]

The Shofu Brownie wheel is fine abrasive in a rubber matrix 
and meets your criterion for "lightly abrasive." It leaves a 
high polish on the reed.  They have a 3/32" shank for which 
your Dremel has a collet.
