Reed Machine Alto Saxophone Model by Robert DiLutis

Reed Machine Alto Saxophone Model 

 Made of durable blue anodized aluminum, the Reed Machine is accurate to +/- .001" and is guaranteed to copy any reed - commercial, handmade or guide reed. Once a reed is placed on the left side of the table and a blank is placed on the right, the copying can begin of any E-flat clarinet, B-flat clarinet, Soprano saxophone or Alto saxophone reed . With a mere movement from left to right, fine strips of cane are removed from the blank until a new reed is formed. After clipping, the reed is ready to play! Precision Teflon guide reeds are also available. The Reed Machine table has a removable insert that can be replaced with any of these guide reeds.
