Do you have a perfect reed? We can copy it to a template so you can make it over and over again.
The tip profiler copies the 3 dimensional profile of the template to the reed. The position of the profile on the reed is adjustable in several ways so you can perfectly personalize the scrape to your own preferences. The tip profiler has an unique compact design and a hard cover which makes it easy to travel with it.
The automatic drive controls the stroke and side movement which together form the scrape process. It is possible to scrape only the channels of the reed. The stroke speed, big side step, small side step, scrape width, channel width, and channel position are programmable. The big side step is to pre-scrape the reed and the small side step is to make the final scrape cycle. The automatic drive is powered by an adaptor with USB cable or, for limited use, by the internal Li-ion battery. When the drive is powered by the adaptor, the battery is charged. Within minutes you can disconnect the drive from the profiler so you can use it manually.
You can adjust the position of the profile in the length direction of the reed, the thickness of the tip, and the angle under which the profile is copied to reed. The adjustment of the angle of the profile is unique and gives you perfect control on the way your reed plays and sounds. The template can easily be changed for other types.
