Gouging Machines, Etc-
Simply the newest, easiest and foolproof gouging machines in the
world.
These premier machines are manufactured by
Reeds 'N Stuff
in Germany.
You'll also find regular push type pre-gougers, a new
pre-gouging machine
for oboe and English Horn, metric dial indicators and
special order profiling
machine that profiles the reed after it's wrapped on
the tube.
-
The ECONOMICS of
gouging tube cane
-
should be considered
when buying cane products long-term or
of sufficient
quantities. 1 (one) lb of Alliaud oboe tube cane will
produce about 250 to 300
pieces of gouged cane. That's more or less
.25¢ each compared to $
1.75 each when purchasing gouged cane
from
OboeStuff,
or even more when purchased from other dealers.
The savings from gouging
your own cane would pay for the combination
radius gauge/calipers,
cane splitter, oboe push style pre-gouger,
gouging machine with
guillotine and analog dial depth indicator
after approximately 900 pieces. At approximately 300 pieces
per year the equipment would have paid for itself in 3 years.

Shaping Machine-
Another machine manufactured by Reeds 'N Stuff. This is
the easiest
and safest machine ever created for shaping cane. Place
the gouged cane
on the shaperform, lower the holding handle, and pull the
two levers one way
then the opposite way... lift the lever and the cane is
shaped and scored for
folding. One machine will accept oboe, English
Horn or oboe d'amore shaperforms
(only one shaperform is provided with the
machine, other shaperforms may
be ordered separately). You may even
send your own shape to us and we'll
manufacture a shaperform to its
specifications.
