Clamps to reduce reed curvature 

October 2023

Without splitting the cane, the clamp reduces its curvature. 

* Before scraping with the Bucher profiling machine: if the cane is too curved and does not fit sufficiently the tongue. 
* For the scraped reed: to reduce the tension during playing it in.

Many more reeds can be scraped than with the previous one since it hardly wears off.

Extension of the system for reeds for historical bassoons and contrabassoon

After a little conversion of the Bucher tip profiling machine - with exchange of the main axis - you can scrape in highest quality the reeds for historical bassoons and contrabassoon. Maximum width of the scrape 20mm, length of the scrape up to 28mm.

FEEDBACK: Bernhard Straub, hr Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt am Main

Mit der System-Erweiterung für Kontrafagott wird die Bucher-Fagotthobelmaschine zum unverzichtbaren Werkzeug für jeden professionellen Kontrafagottisten.
Niemals zuvor war es möglich, in kürzester Zeit Kontrafagottrohre von solch hoher Qualität herzustellen. Durch die bereits vom Fagotthobel bekannte einfache Verstellung der Schabetiefe und die lange Hobelbahn ist die graduelle Anpassung an Holzqualität und -härte völlig unproblematisch. Die präzise gearbeiteten Rohre zeichnen sich durch außerordentliche Stabilität, großen Dynamikumfang, Ansprache in allen Lagen und Tonschönheit aus. Der Umbau von Fagott auf Kontrafagott ist dank der guten bebilderten Beschreibung und der hohen Präzision der Teile unproblematisch und schnell erledigt.

Ergänzung

Die C-002 Matrize ist eine wunderbare Ergänzung zum neuentwickelndem "Kronwalt" Kontrafagott. Mit dieser Matrize gelingen auf Anhieb Rohre, welche die Stärken des Instruments in hervorragender Weise zur Geltung bringen.
Mittlerweile hat sich auch das Hartmetall Messer als unverzichtbar erwiesen. Haltbarkeit und Präzision sind ausgezeichnet und tragen somit zu einer dauerhaft gleichbleibenden Qualität der Rohre bei.

Additional original segment: „dolce“  (September 2016)
Compared to the original segment „Clara Dent“, centre crest becoming thinner towards the tip and thinner areas of the edges. Result : bigger flexibility and softer attack but also lower stability.

The template includes the following segments:

Bucher Tip profiling machine for bassoon reeds

2014

The Bucher tip profiling machine for bassoon stands out with the same qualities known from the Bucher profiling machine for all types of oboes.

Maximal length of the scrape: 28mm

Both in the high and low registers the reeds have a better response and allow for more dynamic.
