I use a BKM 4 Model which is an improved Version of the Reedual but I=B4m not
really satisfied.

There is no information on the net about the BKM 4 except two musicians who
want to sell them. There is abook by Kronthaler which features this machine=
.

I don=B4t know if Klopfer produces still nowadays. Last time I=B4ve seen a
Klopfer machine was in Berlin 2 years ago in Holzbl=E4sershop the
www.holzblaeser.de=20

The machine produced by reedsnstuff can be seen on their homepage I think

Www.reedsnstuff.de

The machine mde by uhl is no longer in production but seems to me one of th=
e
best machines ever.

Maybe you can get information at www.aw-reeds.de or www.uhl-technik.de
