Collection: Bassoon machines

Automate your wood processing, eliminate manual imperfections, and achieve symmetrical precision in your reed making with our specialized selection of bassoon reed machines. Crafting double reeds for bassoon requires working with larger tube dimensions of wood (120 mm Arundo Donax with diameters of 24-26 mm), where a microscopic variation in the blade or collar area can ruin the tuning and balance of the registers. Having specialized luthier machinery not only saves hours of workshop time but also ensures impeccable standardization. If you are looking to buy a durable and precise bassoon reed making machine, our specialized online store offers the most advanced technology in the industry.

Our catalog brings together precision mechanical tools and machinery for all stages of reed transformation:

• Gouging Machines: Designed with smooth-gliding carriages and treated steel blades to reduce the flat cane tube to the exact internal thickness (generally between 1.10 mm and 1.40 mm), maintaining uniform curvature throughout the body.

• Shaper Machines: Equipped with interchangeable templates and shapes (straight or folding shapers like Rieger, Thunemann, Fox, etc.) to trim the sides of the blade with a symmetrical profile before forming the tube.

• Scraping Machines (Bassoon Scrapers): Template-controlled scraping systems that allow for micrometrically precise sculpting of the ramp, heart, and spine of the reed, adapting to both classic and modern cutting styles.

• Guillotines and Tip Cutters: Heavy-duty guillotine tools to set the exact length of the mounted reed and make the tip opening cut without splintering the fiber.
