Bassoon Reeds
Customization is the key to taking the bassoon reeds to the next level, and as you can see by this list from the international double reed society, no two bassoonist play on the same reed. Using a local reed-maker is the key to buying high quality bassoon reeds.
Bassoon reeds crafted by an advanced bassoonist have a number of advantages that lead to better learning and playing. Every bassoon reed is going to play differently, but reducing the variance is key to becoming a better player. Buying a hand-made reed is going to be:
- Easier to Play
- Played on longer
- Quality tested
Aren't Hand-Made Reeds Expensive?
Commercial Bassoon Reeds are a cheaper base price, and if you have never played the bassoon before, it might sound enticing. That being said, hand-made bassoon reeds have superior quality and tested meaning you won’t get a dud reed. Reeds are tested for playing in the high and low register, articulation clarity, as well as tuning, all of which are vital to learning the bassoon. Moreso, if you also take lessons with me, we will be able to adjust the reed as we learn your playing style. All in all, this leads to better learning and better playing.
