By the way, I've been making bassoon reeds for over two decades now.

In the last five years they have been selling to the NyC community and
" ON LINE" @ Robertos Woodwind in NyC.

They are about a strong MEDIUM. Kinda like a copy of a reed I noticed guys like Don Christlieb in L.A or Bernard Garfield in Philly Orch use. They last long and I use quality _vintage_cane that I stashed thru the years.

Another asset to these HAND MADE reeds is their _TURBAN_on the end of the reed.This design makes this reed so popular, as much as the quality of my hand finishing production.No two TURBANS are alike.The outside is a lite
clear finish to protect the string. One of the most distinguishing elements of the my design is it's beautiful colors and multi-color within the thread used on the turban , which beautifully compliments its appearance.

The play of the reed is sure and very in tune.
You'll not only feel good with it but...it will last longer due to
my scraping techniques I learned from Don Christlieb and the tools I use.

Anyhow- for those needing some quality bassoon reeds.8-)
HTH- :)
