Remi,

Thanks for posting the pic of the BKM4...I had wondering what it looked like.

So the BKM is still being made? Interesting...I located a used one in Germany a while back for the price of 800 euros...but I never went through with the purchase.

One huge advantage of a machine like the Uhl is....way less mess. With a belt style profiler you also need a vacuum(the machine and vacuum going can also be quite noisy). Also, you need an electric outlet. With the Uhl you can use it anywhere, easily take it with you on trips, and just brush the mess into a waste basket when you are done.

Michael,

As far as I can tell, and my reed gauge will allow me to measure...the Uhl makes an EXACT copy. My thinking is....since even a swipe of sandpaper can make a big difference, and the fact that, that swipe is basically not measurable with something like the perfectareed, if you can see or even measure inconsistencies...then the machine is not consistent or accurate. Accurate measurements are not the end all...as cane can vary wildly in density even within the same blank. But I think accurate measurements are a good place to start.

I think there is more going on with the Dual than meets the eye. People often find problems in the tip and the rails of dual reeds. I think this is due mostly to the fact that those are the easiest places on a reed to measure. I suspect there are similar inconsistencies over the entire vamp, that are very hard to measure with something like the perfectareed.

That is not to say however, that the reedual can't make great reeds. I played dual reeds for a year and would go back to it if I had to. It's just a matter of putting in the time to set it up so it works for you, and then understanding that it will produce unplayable measurements from time to time.

-Joe
