Benefits of Density Measurement

When first using a hardness meter, many players are surprised to discover how significantly hardness affects the finished reed. Density is likewise a crucial factor that greatly influences reed quality. We encourage you to experience firsthand the superior resonance and response that comes with reeds made from cane of appropriate density and hardness. Understanding the relationship between density, hardness, and tone quality can greatly improve both the efficiency and consistency of reed making.

Easy Measurement

The CDM-22 was developed as a daily tool for ReedHackersTokyo players. Simply enter the dry and submerged measurements into the provided app1, and the density will be calculated and automatically registered in the database. If you have a hardness meter, hardness measurements can also be entered. Through density and hardness analysis in the provided app, you can determine which reed brands and gauging thicknesses best suit your needs.

3D Measurement Service

We provide a service that uses state-of-the-art equipment to perform 3D measurements of finished reeds and gauged canes, delivering detailed analysis results. This service visualizes various aspects of reed finishing, including left-right asymmetry due to dominant hand or light positioning, irregularities caused by knife handling habits, and uniformity between front and back surfaces.
