Having never adjusted my own reed before this simple guide is amazing. I can now make basic adjustments to my store bought reeds to ensure they function 100% all the time.
Helped me a lot in getting my bassoon reeds right
Great way to help you visually improve your reed making
Very helpful chart. Thanks
Very helpfull.
Very well described.
It’s always refreshing to find new ways to explain working with reeds.
Very helpful when adjusting reed.
This handy guide to adjusting bassoon reeds was emailed to me when I had difficulties with a reed I had purchased. Although I have a simple guide written out for me by my first bassoon teacher many, many years ago, it is falling apart and incredibly hard to read now. This reminded me of what I was taught then and also had a few more tips. Great to have in the case for whenever the need arises to adjust a reed.
Hello Karen,
This is great news! A few minor tweaks can really improve the lifespan of a reed, particularly as we are now heading towards the summer and the weather is getting hotter and dryer, this is the time reeds are most likely to act up!
If you need any further advice on reeds please feel free to get in touch.
Happy bassooning!

Trying to keep reed costs down and find inconsistencies in ready made ones. Suspect I’ll end up making my own but this is a steep learning curve. One step at a time. The C&S pdf is a good first step, adjusting first and work towards starting from scratch :hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed:

Exceptional service and love my new bassoon reed. Thank you I will be back
A very helpful and informative guide.
How to adjust the bassoon reed
It was a really good way to learn where to scrape when beginning to learn how to make reeds
A very informative and useful article.

A bit stuffy as delivered, but good after a little scraping
Sadly I bought two of these reeds and both are not performing as I wished. One reed is already out of alignment and is splitting, although I have only used it three or four times. I have had problems with response despite soaking the reeds thoroughly before use. I completed the questionnaire in order to select a reed but on this occasion it has not worked for me. I am not a professional player but do play regularly with an amateur Orchestra. This is a lot of money to have spent to end up with two reeds which are not working as they should.
Really pleased with the reeds and service - would highly recommend
This reed gave a really warm, clear tone and felt responsive to play.
So far I am finding the reeds good. I am elderly so cannot manage a hard reed so it is useful to be able to get a softer one. I'll see how they last.
This reed is very responsive and easy to play, definitely on the soft side of medium. For me though, I find the tone a bit on the thin side. A friend has tried the reed with the same result..
This is my go-to choice of wire. A good balance of flexibility/strength.
I have used Urbach reeds for 50 years and I love them . The cane is far superior to other makes . Usually come ready to blow , just slight wire adjustment.
These reeds are well made and playable straight out of the box. Good attack at the bottom but also maintaining a good tone in the tenor register.
Really pleased with the reeds and service - would highly recommend
Quick delivery, excellent quality service!
