Kunibert Michel Pre-Gouging Machine

Kunibert Michel Pre-Gouging Machine

This is the new baby of the Kunibert Michel household.
This machine was conceived by Timo, the son of Nici and Charly. It is the newest addition to the largest collection of cane-processing machines. It is simple and very easy to use.

There are two blades placed one at each end of the cane bed: one to cut the sides of the cane to the exact width of the bed, and the other, at the opposite end, to shave the inside of the cane down to a thickness of about 0.75mm. The pre-gouging is therefore done in two steps, regardless of cane hardness. The mechanical action feels less resistant than that of the « Reeds’n Stuff » machine, since the tasks of trimming and gouging are carried out separately.

Note :We advise all musicians who process their own cane to choose their machine according to the diagramme below :
