Re: Jeanné gouging machine

I've used one.

Not a bad machine. A double radius gouge, so you need to know a bit more about adjusting it and doing what you want to do with it. I mentioned on another thread a good website to learn about gouging machines and such is Larry Mueller's Oboist's Workshop .

Looking at the picture to refresh my memory, I don't spot a screw to adjust the placement of the blade on the carriage that other machines have. Every machine I've used has a screw on both sides of the carriage to help center the blade with the carriage. There does appear to be a hole however, so perhaps she left it off to show more of the machine.

If you want an easier machine to work with, try the Opus 1 machine. It's very easy to adjust, and keep perfectly adjusted (unlike most double radius machines) and Robin Driscoll is a super nice guy.

Impressive website. Just a note: Jeanne makes an American-Style setup of a machine and the curve of the blade might not work out for a French Style sound.
