The double reed gouger, is a machine that has been used as a means to accurately and effectively remove excess material from within the concave structure of the split and measured double reed cane. This machine process is essential to the production of the double reed, when inserted into applicable instrument, is able to reproduce a specific vibration from within the cane to enable the player to easily and without much effort perform notes with ease of vibration and accuracy of pitch. The double reed gouging machine particularly for the Oboe, Oboe Damore, English horn and Bassoon Family of instruments is in need of major upgrades to it's usefulness, accuracy and comfort by way of modern machining and design. This is a continuation of such efforts.
