This is quite heavily profiled cane and really only wants the tip finishing, which results in quite a soft and bright reed, though it can be darkened with wire placement/shape. I really like this cane and use it for 2nd bassoon playing as its best for quiet and/or mid to low range playing. Excellent service.

A nice reed. I'm assured it's a Windeler BD3 but it's black whereas the image on the website is red. Very confused.

This is my second batch of these reeds, for a total now of 5. All have been of very good quality. They play OK from the start, and after play-in for a bit, and a few minor tweaks, they can be concert quality. As an older, experienced amateur bassoonist who never bothered to learn reed-making, and who has outlasted three prior reed suppliers, I think I have found my new supplier.

Easy to hold which is important for a contrabassoon mandrel.

I purchased 10 for my son who plays, not me. He had a pile of old ones from his teacher that he’s been practicing his scraping and tying on. We will buy another 10 in the new year along with a new mandrel that will hopefully last him a few years.
