​BASSOON REEDS

Picture

the Desert Rose Professional Bassoon Reed  $22     ​

​Each reed is handmade to exacting standards using the same cane and design that we use in our professional career.  The cane is aged for a minimum of 10 years in order to insure its optimum performance as a finished reed.  The reedmaking process, from gouging to finished reed, takes 4 weeks.  Minor adjustments to finished reeds involving testing the reed on the bassoon are then made before fulfillment of your order. 

We use the Herzberg shape exclusively.  This is a time-honored shape and reed design that Mr. Herzberg used throughout his illustrious career as a performer and teacher.
                                                 
​                                                                 All reeds are tested on a 12,000 and 6,000 series Heckel bassoon before shipping.

​Desert Rose Gouged and Profiled Cane
(10 pieces)  $45


Our profiling process now focusses on the hard outer surface of the cane tube.  A precision bassoon cane profiler removes cane from the top surface in a graduated amount from reed shoulder to tip.  Our profilers place a basic “thumbnail” shadow profile to    the heart of the reed.
