...shaping the clarinet mouthpiece baffle down near the bore. It is the most difficult place tq shape for me. Maybe there is a better tool that I am not aware of. Any suggestions?

I read somewhere that a clarinet guru made their own scraper to work this area.  I think they hammered the end (or head) of a large nail flat and bent it 90 degs and sharpened it.  

The sanding sticks I sell can do some shaping using 110 grit sandpaper.  But the pads I supply need to be trimmed with scissors to fit inside a clarinet chamber.

Thanks Keith. My dad was that way. Couldn’t find a tool? Just make one.

I hope others may have a dream tool idea that can simplify the process.
