How to Adjust Bassoon Reeds - PDF Download

Having never adjusted my own reed before this simple guide is amazing. I can now make basic adjustments to my store bought reeds to ensure they function 100% all the time.

Helped me a lot in getting my bassoon reeds right

Great way to help you visually improve your reed making

Very well described.

It’s always refreshing to find new ways to explain working with reeds.

Very helpful when adjusting reed.

This handy guide to adjusting bassoon reeds was emailed to me when I had difficulties with a reed I had purchased. Although I have a simple guide written out for me by my first bassoon teacher many, many years ago, it is falling apart and incredibly hard to read now. This reminded me of what I was taught then and also had a few more tips. Great to have in the case for whenever the need arises to adjust a reed.

Trying to keep reed costs down and find inconsistencies in ready made ones. Suspect I’ll end up making my own but this is a steep learning curve. One step at a time. The C&S pdf is a good first step, adjusting first and work towards starting from scratch :hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed:

Exceptional service and love my new bassoon reed. Thank you I will be back
