The Complete Package
Achieving consistent cane thickness is essential for reliable reed making. The R'S oboe gouging machine offers the precision and flexibility to help you achieve repeatable results and tailor your cane preparation to your individual needs. With interchangeable blade styles, it adapts to your preferred gouging approach, giving you greater control and confidence in your reed-making process.
Interchangeable
With the turn of a screw you can change blade heads, allowing you to switch between our two styles of blade very easily.
Cylindrical
Our patented cylindrical blade allows you to easily rotate the blade to a new position that is still sharp. Pre-drilled holes make positioning a breeze, so you can continue gouging without interruptions. Using the exchange sets you can easily swap between blade sizes.
Passin
The beloved Passin-style blades are now compatible with the R'S base, allowing for uncompromising adjustability and precision. Every blade size has it's own interchangeable head, so your machine is always ready to go.
Adaptive
You can choose from a wide variety of bed and blade sizes to gouge to the diameter of your choice, making the one machine for Oboe, Oboe d’amore, English horn and Baroque Oboes.
Secure
The transport bag features a foam interior for safe transport and a snug fit. The tools to use the machine can be stored in the zipper closed compartment on top of the case. The handle gives portability wherever you need it.
