This book will help you to break free from the strait-jacket
of buying commercial bassoon reeds that never work properly for you.
If you already have our Bassoonist's
Reed Doctor, you know how to get the best from commercial bassoon
reeds. But the best commercial bassoon reeds will never be as good
for you as your own hand-made reeds.
With a few simple tools, no complicated equipment and ready profiled
reed blanks, making your first bassoon reed is genuinely easy. Yes
it's fiddly, you will mess up the first few, but you will soon get
the hang of it. Once you have made your own bassoon reeds successfully,
you will not want to go back to buying inferior ready made reeds.
For no more than the price of two medium priced bassoon reeds -
or one top price reed - you will soon be able to enjoy playing on
a bassoon reed that suits you. You will play with more confidence,
knowing that your reed will work better.
