Our Bassoon Reed Blanks are expertly hand-formed and wired, providing the perfect starting point for reed makers who prefer to complete their own finishing and scraping. Each blank is built with precision and care to ensure structural integrity, proper alignment, and consistent response.
“The beginner” bassoon reed is slightly more open and responsive than professional reeds, making it easier for new players to produce a steady sound with less air pressure and embouchure strength. It has a softer tip and a balanced, stable tone, allowing students to focus on correct fingerings, breath support, and intonation rather than struggling to make the reed vibrate.
The “Right in between” provides numbers right in between “The pro” and “The beginner”. This reed bridges the gap between the ease of a beginner reed and the refined response of a professional one. It offers a balanced blend of flexibility, stability, and tonal depth, making it ideal for advancing students or serious amateurs who are refining their tone and control.
Our Gouged, Shaped, and Profiled bassoon cane is prepared with precision for reed makers who want consistent results and reliable performance. Each piece is carefully processed to exact measurements — gouged to the ideal internal thickness, shaped for symmetry, and profiled for balanced vibration — so you can focus on finishing reeds, not fighting the material.
