Bassoon Reed Tip Profiler 2013
A wonderful machine for any serious bassoonist. As your hand rests on the beautifully shaped and finished wooden knob, the carriage slides effortlessly back and forth on its ball bearings, easily removing cane as the precision ball bearing riding on the hardened steel pattern insures each reed is the same thickness and profile. Both the finished tip thickness and the shaving thickness are easily adjustable. With this machine you can quickly turn a reed blank into a finished reed.
Changed in 2013 to use a curved blade and round follower bearing for more accuracy, and a new steel template for better definition of the heart.
