We show you how to make a bassoon
reed work properly.
Is your bassoon reed problem here?
1. The bottom notes are unresponsive and
difficult to play . (Click on small picture above.)
2. Notes around middle C are sharp and stuffy.
3. Tonguing and staccato are poor or difficult. Tone in tenor
register is generally a little fuzzy or unclear.
4. Notes in the top octave are fuzzy or unresponsive.
5. The tone is stuffy (thick and hesitant)
throughout all registers.
6. The tone is too thin and
nasal.
7. My E (2nd space bass clef)
sinks in pitch, particularly when I tongue hard.
