Golden Bassoon Reed

Description

What we like about these reeds is how consistent and easy blowing they are.  There are always individual variances in each piece of cane, and some are slightly softer or harder than the others in the box, so its always best to buy two or more at at time.  But the quality of the workmanship is evident in each individual reed, from the beautiful golden binding, to the precise labeling, to the detailed way each reed is made with time and care.   

Medium Soft:

• These are easy to play straight from the box, they handle soft entries, large dynamic contrasts, accurate articulation and the tuning is spot-on.

This is an ideal choice for players who don’t tamper with their reeds too much, who like a lighter blowing reed that is consistent across the scale yet has a crisp mouth-feel, resists sogginess over a long playing session, and performs very well in the practice room and the auditorium.

Medium Hard:

• Good for advanced players who customise their reeds or like a bit more cane on the reed, stable tuning and accurate intonation

These are reeds for the advanced player who likes to make tweaks and adjustments to the reed to adapt it specifically to their playing needs and instrument.  The maker has left more cane across the back of the reed and the front section of the reed’s heart.  The Medium Hard reed may be open at the tip, and require adjusting through the wires to the players optimum aperture.
