 Re: Uhl Technik Reed Profiler 'RPM 68'

There's really not much that I can add to Joe's review of the RPM 68 because he basically covered everything. I did have a chance to use it today and was blown away. After exceptionally inconsistent results with other reed machines, I was surprised just how easy it was to get this to work properly right from the start. What was most important, however, was that the dimensions were all very precise and consistent. Unlike with the Reedual, all the reeds I made had the same measurements. With the Reedual I was often not even in the same ballpark with some reeds, even though they would still work because of the cane or because I clipped it to the length that was just right. With the Uhl machine, the reeds have very rational vamps and tips that allow for a greater flexibility than I got with my best Dual reeds.

Also, I thought I'd respond to the observation made that it looks like the Dilutis Reed Machine. This has been noted before and it is definitely true. There's a reason for this, and it's not that it is a copy or imitation. This is the same basic concept that bassoon profilers have used for a long time. I believe the Reed Machine was based on this basic concept, but it failed in so many areas to take into consideration many design elements that could be taylored to the making of clarinet reeds. The Uhl product is much better designed, made with much better materials, and executed properly so that it actually works the way it's supposed to. This machine is not a mystery to use or something that requires an aquired touch. It simply profiles the reed in a way that is consistent with the concepts bassoonist have been using for a long time.

It's an excellent product that took only minutes to convince me to get one myself.
