I've made a few in my lifetime, but I attribute it to good cane! (Luck, in other words.)<br /><br />This is the website of a highly regarded reed maker that professionals use:<br />http://www.kv191.nl/<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />BetsyB.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724883690591213622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115433326707838301.post-53656986277739442982010-09-26T15:36:46.366-07:002010-09-26T15:36:46.366-07:00Do you know of a brand of bassoon reeds that has b...Do you know of a brand of bassoon reeds that has both good sound in the top and bottom of the bassoon's register?

Usually it happens out of necessity, as in my case. The orchestra director of the summer program I was in gave me a bassoon solo piece he wanted me to play with orchestra accompaniment, and it had tenor clef. My teacher taught me how to figure out the notes. For fingerings, you need a resource, like this http://idrs.org/resources/BSNFING/FINGHOME.HTM<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />BetsyB.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724883690591213622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115433326707838301.post-50559257399416577022010-05-16T21:20:10.439-07:002010-05-16T21:20:10.439-07:00how do you learn tenor cleft? and how are you able...how do you learn tenor cleft? and how are you able to hit those super high notes,like past the 3 octave G?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02526595920902033897noreply@blogger.com
