Re: German Reed Machine

Ralph,

Interesting info about the Legere method of varying strength. You may be interested to find that cane reed strength is not varied by thickness, or at the very least can not be predicted by thickness. For example all Vandoren reeds are cut to the same specs. and are amazingly accurate when measured. They are measured after the fact on a strength gauge and then sorted.

Where could I get one of these CNC machines and how much do they cost?

I'm looking for info on this type of profiler because it looks like what bassoon and oboe players use. Also there are some design problems inherent in the reedual that I believe make it impossible to get consistent and accurate results.
