coguy5280, I wondered if that was your e-horn gouger when I saw it but I didn't ask who it belonged to. I'm currently able to make decent reeds with my Jeanne e-horn gouger but I've had to do a lot of work on the blade to get reeds that will both vibrate and play up to pitch. Good luck with yours, I hope you get something that's useable.

I don't understand why it's so hard to get some machines to produce good reeds. It seems like with enough adjustability (both in the mechanism and by judicious use of a file) that almost any of them could be made to work. I know it doesn't really work that way, but I don't know why.

For oboe, I had been using my Inoledy gouger for a few months because none of my Graf and Graf-like machines were working, but I was finding was that it was hard to make reeds that were up-to-pitch in the high register and yet responsive enough that I could make secure entrances in the low register. I finally set aside the time to get one of my Graf machines working and have been very happy with reeds for the past few weeks. It really goes to show how important the gouge is.
