This device comprises a body a flat part of which forms a support for said reed, a removable cutting member having a profile corresponding to that of the end of said reed and projecting perpendicularly to the surface of said flat part, and a compression member pivotably mounted about a pin on said body and disposed so that it may be applied manually against said cutting member. Said body comprises two parts whose positions are adjustable in relation to each other, the part forming a support for the reed comprising an end whose shape corresponds to the end of the reed, whereas the other part comprises a recess having a complementary shape, the cutting member being formed by a thin deformable blade, nipped between said parts.
