Bassoon Reed Making

Bassoon reed making is a skill that has taken me over 20 years to perfect and I'm offering you the chance to learn from a professional reed maker and leave the trouble and strife of reed making behind you!* Wouldn't it be great not to have the stress of worrying how your reed is going to perform in your final recital? * You have a big solo coming up in orchestra, is your reed going to let you down just at the last minute? * You have been practicing for hours and hours for that all important exam. Do you really want a bad reed to ruin the whole performance? I think you get the picture and I know we've all been there! Wouldn't life be much simpler if you didn't have to worry about your reed all the time? What's Involved? The best way for me to diagnose the problem with your reed is to do a skype call. Then I can hear the reed and we can adjust the reed as we go along until you are happy. Here's a testimonial to show you what I can do: There are nearly as many opinions on how to make and scrape a reed as there are bassoon players. However, there are fundamentals that clarify and de-mystify reed making and put you in control. These fundamentals are what I have been shown by Julian Partridge. It has helped me get more consistent and predictable results so that I can create a working reed every day of the week. With material as variable and unpredictable as cane it is essential to have enough knowledge and experience to control it. Only then can we get on with the fun of playing the bassoon rather than the endless fiddling with reeds."
