Warm tone and easy to play
The medium-soft strength of our student bassoon reed helps you to develop a free and open embouchure which later in your development will make creating a warm singing tone on the bassoon much simpler. It will also allow you to play for longer sessions, as it does not wear out your embouchure as quickly.
Durable, adjustable & good value
Beginners often don't realise how fragile bassoon reeds are and break them frequently - our good value student bassoon reed has been designed with a thicker tip in order help prevent accidental damage!
