ABSTRACT:
A hand-operated precision profiling tool for use in fabricating double-reed mouthpieces for double-reed musical instruments employs a reed support that is rotatably mounted on a base adjacent a manually-operated cutting assembly. The reed support holds a section of reed stock and a profiling template in fixed alignment for rotation about a common axis. The cutting assembly, comprising a blade and a stylus on a movable carriage, shaves a selected portion of the reed stock with strokes of the carriage parallel to the common axis, the stylus tracing the contour of the template as the blade shaves the reed stock accordingly. A handwheel enables hand rotation of the reed support within predetermined limits to select the portion shaved, and the reed support may include separate oboe and english horn nests on opposite sides to enable use for either size reed.
