 Re: Uhl Technik Reed Profiler 'RPM 68'

While expensive in initial cost, the UHL device can only save money in the long run, provided one is committed to making reeds.

This involves sourcing good cane, having the patience to age it properly, and then spending time learning the craft of making reeds.

Of course, if one is already working and has limited time, then there is the question of opportunity cost.

Raw materials for making reeds is minimal. So it is really the time and learning curve involved.

Once one knows how to make a reed, and uses a device as accurate as the UHL, my guess is the cost per reed would amount be minimal.

Assuming that the investment of time to make 10 reeds (of which 8 will play much better than those in a box of commercial reeds), then 2 reeds cost $26 (retail price).

If one can make 8 reeds that are excellent out of 10 (not unheard of), then you have saved 4x$26 or roughly $104 US.

If it takes you two hours to produce these 8 reeds and you make less than $52/hour then it makes sense to make the reeds.

If your time is worth more than that, then you can pay for commercial reeds and accept the 2 good reeds in a box of 10 ratio.

Over time, you will capture the initial investment of buying the device through your captured savings not having to purchase reeds.

That is how an economist will think of it anyway.
