Description

Concave Reed KnifeThis concave reed knife (one side is curved and the other flat to enable a sharper blade) has blade that is 4mm thick and 8cm long. The blade is made from ground and tempered steel which is then hand sharpened and mounted on a polished African ebony handle. Available for left or right handed people. The blade has one flat side and one hollow ground (concave curved) side. This combination allows for an ideal compromise between sharpness of the blade

The mandrel tip is designed for number 2 oboe staples and is hand finished in order to ensure each tube fits snuggly

Handle diameter - ~3

The tone is stuffy (thick & hesitant) throughout all registers

Making your own reeds to suit your style of playing will greatly help you develop your tone quality and allow you to make reeds that will enhance your playing

insert the brush end into the widest end of the crook (end with cork on) and push it through the crook until it comes completely out of the smaller end

1 x Bassoon Plaque (placed between the blades of the reed whilst scraping to reduce the risk of the reed splitting)
