A Great Beginner – and Mini Bassoon Reed!
This reed is a cornerstone of our bassoon range for beginners! And its one of the best selling student reeds from Rimpl in Germany. Handmade, a great all-around student reed. Perfect for schools and beginner to intermediate players, this reed has a lovely free blowing sound, with stable intonation. At a great price compared to most other handmade reeds on the market!
These reeds have a softer pithier cane and are well suited to students for this reason. For beginners, being able to make a sound, start a note and learn how to keep the reed vibrating, is part of the journey of learning bassoon. This reed will makes these early steps easy.
It is also well suited to shorter practice sessions, as it holds water easily which can reduce its responsiveness after a few hours of consistent playing.
This reed is also ideal for fagottinos, tenoroons and other mini-bassoon options!
Lee –
I’m a student at about Grade 5-6 level, I’ve been playing on reeds that have been a bit too hard for me. My teacher suggested I try these Rimpl white reeds and they have been great! They provide a good resistance through the range of the instrument without being so soft the notes fly and the problems I had, where a note wouldn’t speak at the start of the phrase, is gone now. It’s much easier to play all around the instrument. I’m very happy with these reeds
