Bassoon Reeds
Every bassoon player knows just how important a good bassoon reed is. After all, without a reed the bassoon doesn’t make a sound. For the past 12 years I’ve been making reeds and studying the art of reed making and I’m excited to offer reeds that will help players of every level enjoy the bassoon. Below are two different categories of reeds appropriate for beginner through professional use. Each reed is personally handcrafted and tested in San Antonio, TX.
How to Order
To place an order, please fill out the order form to the left after reading the reed descriptions below. I will respond with a PayPal link to complete your order. If you live in San Antonio or nearby I strongly recommend in person pick up so that you or your student will be able to try out the reed and make any adjustment requests. If an in person appointment is not possible Priority Mail is available in the U.S. with a flat $5 shipping charge.
