Abstract: The reed tube cane diameter meas irement tool may hold a tube cane between a base plate and a centering block and may center the tube cane under the centering block. The reed tube cane diameter measurement tool may support a dial indicator above the cane atop an arch such that the dial indicator plunger may determine the diameter of the tube cane. The tube cane, if selected to have a desired diameter, may be split, shaved, bent, tied, or otherwise processed to create a reed suitable for use with a wind instrument. As a non-limiting example, the wind instrument may be an oboe. A vie wing angle adjuster may improve the visibility of the dial indicator by tilting the reed tube cane diameter measurement tool such that the readout of the dial indicator faces the user.

Abstract: A computerized reed fabrication system having an X-Y-Z axes computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine capable of holding a tool bit. The CNC machine operates under the control of CNC software commands. The reed fabrication system further includes a tool bit held by the CNC machine and a reed holder located adjacent that tool bit. Non-transitory computer readable media stores CNC software commands. A computer reads those stored CNC software commands and sends them to the CNC machine. The CNC software commands cause the CNC machine to move the tool bit relative to the reed holder as required to fabricate a double reed from a cut piece of reed cane.
