 Re: RDG Gougers

I currently am trying a used RDG EH machine and I am not particularly happy with the machine.

I love how easy the gouger is to use. I love the ball on top of the carriage. It makes gouging easy on the hands! (say that with a graf machine).

The guillotine is not its best feature. I find it small and awkward to use, and doesn't accommodate large pieces of cane. I much prefer my reeds n' stuff stand alone EH guillotine.

The biggest issue I have with the machine is the gouge. The gouge ratio is too thick for me, .70-.60. I prefer thinner sides. Also I feel that the RDG machines produce a reed that one needs to scrape to release vibrations. I much prefer to have a machine set up to make reeds that I need to scrape to contain vibrations. With the RDG machine I found that my EH were much thinner than my reeds made on a Ross gouger. Which has changed the way my reeds play (I feel for the worse). I will be glad when I ship the gouger off tomorrow.

If you are looking to buy a gouger I would recommend the Ross, an Opus one or a used Graf machine. Graf machines sometimes come up for sale ( I have one if you are interested in buying a Graf machine).
