2nd Udo's machines... although, i find that the cane has to be impeccable before it goes on the machine. So, any irregularities in the gouge or cane which is slightly crooked would not produce anything of use after the machine. Berthelot, although old fashioned and chunky, has a design which almost forces the cane to be straight. A hand shaper tip, the old fashioned folding type, is still by far the best because you can adjust the difference of the sides before locking the cane down to get a perfectly symmetrical result even if the piece of cane is not perfect. But if you are like me, a full time reed maker who needs to produce 50-100 reeds a week, a machine is the way to go!
