It’s true that other reed making machines exist. They are flashier, higher tech, and higher cost. Unlike those products, however, the Reedual™ creates a precise, high quality reed with a longer lifespan, at a lower lifetime cost. The Reedual™ distinguishes itself in the reed-making market by offering a balance of precision, quality, and affordability.

“I have been relying on the Reedual to make my own reeds through two graduate degrees in performance, a four-year enlistment in a military band, and an active teaching and freelance career. This newest version is even more dependable when it comes to rapidly turning out good reeds.
The Reedual is absolutely worth the initial cost of purchasing a machine. It pays for itself quickly by producing better quality longer lasting reeds at a fraction of the cost of commercial reeds.”

How Does the Reedual™ Work?
The Reedual™ works by employing advanced CNC machining technology to precisely replicate reed profiles. It works very similarly to the way a key-making machine copies a new key from a model key.
Musicians can set the machine to craft reeds according to their specific requirements, ensuring each reed produced matches their desired sound and playability.
The machine’s design prioritizes ease of use, allowing musicians to efficiently create high-quality, consistent reeds with a longer lifespan. This process not only enhances performance but also reduces the overall cost and time spent on reed procurement.
What Reeds Does the Reedual™ Work With?
The Reedual™ works for any size clarinet or saxophone reeds. You can use it to adjust commercial reeds or to make your own reeds from blanks.
What Skills Do I Need?
The Reedual™ has been designed so that most anyone can learn to produce high-quality reeds with minimal effort. You will find that there is a rapid learning curve to get your “feel” for the machine.
Is the Machine Safe to Operate?
The entire cutting operation utilizes a spinning wheel with 220-grit sandpaper powered by a 1/15th HP motor. There are NO knives or blades. It is as safe as any sanding device used in the home workshop.
Are There Hidden Costs?
Each machine is supplied with enough strips to cut hundreds of reeds. We can supply more or you can obtain the 220-grit sandpaper and cut your own strips. The neoprene drive belt will occasionally require replacement, but these are inexpensive.
