Profiling Machine K.GE for oboe and English horn reeds.

Unlike other “profile” machines previously designed and sold by other makers, this machine fully completes the reed to a fully finished and playable state. It is really not necessary to adjust the reed using a reed knife, as this machine has a variety of ways in which the reed can be adjusted to allow for the cane density and opening of the reed, which affect how hard a reed feels to blow. We believe that this machine is a revolutionary device, that will make the onerous task of reed making a much less time consuming one and more importantly, a more predictable and profitable process. Thanks to the computer designed template, you will be able to make perfectly balanced reeds time after time.

Profiling machine components:

Similarly, to profile machines made in the past, this machine has a template over which a roller travels. This roller or wheel is attached in a fixed way to a separate “arm” which slides back and forth. On this same “arm” the circular blade is also fixed, and it has a spring whose tension can be adjusted, to control how much force is exerted on a downward manner on the reed when it is being scraped. The reed is placed onto a fixed “plaque” and then clamped with a rotating device over the reed, to keep it absolutely still during the scraping process.

There is also a locking device or metal spoke attached to the base of the machine, which can be stood upright when the ring is slid down to its base and fits into a small hole at the base of the sliding arm. This metal spoke holds the sliding arm up and keeps it still, preventing damage of the blade and machine in general, while the machine is stored or carried around in its box. Be careful when putting the lid on, that the sponge attached to the inside of the lid rests on the handle, holding it steady. The lid will only go on neatly this way around.

There is a lever on the left hand end of the non sliding arm, which rotates the template and plaque from side to side, to allow the blade which slides only back and forth to scrape the sides and centre of the reed.
