The design of the Reed Wizard © tool is based on a reed mandrel hand-made for Terry Lee by his piping teacher, James MacMillan. Over the years, Terry relied on this tool for reed manipulation in the SFU Pipe Band.
The Reed Wizard © tool design has been improved upon allowing for safe storage and long life. It is now being produced by GANAAN Highland Manufacturing.
The Reed Wizard © allows for the easy manipulation of the staple in the pipe chanter reed. It allows the user to make adjustments to the staple prolonging the life of a pipe chanter reed while at the same time improving the sound.
Added benefit of the Reed Wizard © is that it can also be used as a scrapper to soften reeds making harder reeds easier to play.
The Reed Wizard © handle and cover are both machined from T6061-T6 aluminum, while the mandrel incorporates a double bevel design made from O1 tool steel which is then heat treated, quenched and tempered insuring strength, durability and longevity. The mandrel is as hard as a high-end knife yet flexible enough to apply torque to it to open the staple up allowing you to match your reeds easily.
The Reed Wizard © is then anodized and laser etched providing a brilliant finish and is currently available in red, grey/pewter and blue. There are a variety of other colors available by special order including green, orange, gold, purple and black (grey).
Each Reed Wizard © comes packaged in a shipping box along with an insert on safety precautions for its care and use. Each box is then sealed on each end with a clear retail package seal.
The Terry Lee Reed Wizard © was recommended as the tool of choice by Donald Mcphee during his workshop presentation at Winter Storm 2025.
