I have set up this blog for the benefit of bassoon students that have questions concerning any aspect of bassoon playing. I do not have all the answers but as a community, perhaps we will all benefit. No question is too silly to ask. With the help of other bassoonists we can find a solution to your problem, or at least discuss all of the solutions as a community. All are welcome at every stage of playing from beginner to professionals. Feel free to post your upcoming concerts and recitals, this site is for you!

Wow! This is so cool!
I have a question, what are the best tools for making reeds?
You can buy tools as a kit from forrest, I t should have all the tools you need to get started

If you use GSP cane you need a forming mandrel, razor blade, wire, measuring device, fingernail clippers to cut wire, needle nosed pliers, package twine & cyanoacrylate. If you want to know how to use these tools you need to take a reed lesson. Lawrence Rhodes........

I need to ship a bassoon across the country. How is this done? Do you put extra padding inside the case (towels?), then packing material on the outside of the case inside a exterior cardboard shipping box, or ?
Thanks,
Tim
I recently purchased "Melodious & Progressive Studies" by Alan Hawkins and found in book 2 a wonderful fingering chart that Alan put together. I bought 15 to give to my students. Love this fingering chart!!
