I am curious if anyone has heard about the Reed Machine? It is made by a
clarinetist in the San Antonio Symphony. We own one at the university. I
have yet to get the "hang" of it. Anyone with hands-on experience willing
to share their reactions to it?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I am thinking of the right thing, I have had experience with it.
I feel that it is a very good machine. I had experience with it a year and
a half ago, so I don't remember too much about it. I do remember something
spinning, then the reed was handheld up to it to shape it. When used
proplerly, it is a very good machine.
Sorry I can't remember much. Hope what I remember helps!
