Reeds
As a bassoonist there are many styles of reeds available to you, it is important to remember to use what works best for you. With my reeds, you will find they are quite light and flexible but offer a lot of resonance and sound when needed. Every reed I make is thoroughly tested for stability, intonation, and tone quality.
About my reed making:
I begin my reed making with Charles brand gouged cane. I profile each piece to specific specifications on my MD profiler. Each piece of cane is then shaped, I then form each piece, coat them with beeswax, and wrap them. I cut my tips at 27mm from the collar (producing reeds about 54-56 mm in total length), tip profile with my MD tip profiler, and finally hand finish the rest of the reed. I then test each reed for stability, intonation, and tone quality.
If you happen to have a beeswax allergy or any allergies I should be aware of, please reach out and I would be happy to help accommodate! These reeds do come from a home with a cat, but no reed that is sent out will have come into contact with my cat.
