Your version of making clarinet reeds looks so much easier than remedial. If I thought I could locate the tools I would pursue this as a retirement hobby/biz, It looks like fun. Of course, you could someone to remake the tool that has been discontinued but you would need to make a change so you did not have issues with the patent . Maybe ghe patent has expired?

How long does this entire process take ?

[@ParkHouseCreations]

Working at a non-hurried pace, taking my time and making sure I do each step correctly, a reed from start to finish takes something like 12-13 minutes.

Are these reeds better than commercial ones?

Hello, what is the diameter of the bamboo?

[@megansaneibingley8420]

I think it’s reeds, like the stuff you find at ponds? I’m not quite sure exactly though

Cevap alabildinizmi?

[@patrickmaples1147]

What machine are you using?

[@ParkHouseCreations]

Hi Patrick, in this video I am using a RPM 68 Reed Profiler. However, upon getting ready to post this video I learned that they are no longer in production! I am not sure if this is temporary due to current world circumstances, or if permanent. It’s a shame either way!

[@patrickmaples1147]

I was a reedual guy for years and might bring it back sometime. The tools you use are different, but the length of the blanks is completely the same as what I used.
Your video are awesome by the way.

[@ParkHouseCreations]

@@patrickmaples1147 Thanks for the kind words! I've never had the chance to try the reedual, but I know a lot of people who use it! Up until this video all of my reed tools had been sitting in a box too due to the pandemic!

[@jimis3167]

How do they play? 😂

[@ParkHouseCreations]

They play well, I think you can hear a brief recording of one in my “Is Making Your Own Reeds Worth It?” Video
