Nick Deutsch had only great things to say about these reed-profiling machines.
He thinks that hand-made reeds are going the way of the Clarinet reed - soon to be rendered completely obsolete by machines like these.

[How many Clarinetists does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, but it will take him ages to select the perfect bulb from his box of 20 ...]

Perhaps we can form cooperatives - say, 6-7 players paying for one machine? Tie on a dozen blanks, go to the guy with the machine and profile them. Come back in 3 months with the next batch of blanks.

The maker (KeXun Ge) and his engineers developed the machine slowly over many years, based on feedback he received from professional European players. Nick said that year over year the Chinese engineers showed up at conventions with their reeds, and listened to everything that was said about the reeds they made. Then they went away and improved their machines for the following year. At last years' European convention the machines were damn near perfect.

J.
