BASSOON REEDS
All bassoon reeds are Rieger 1A shape, 55mm in length. All reeds come in a tin case that can also double as a reed case. The GoBassoon style of reed has been influenced through the years by each of Leigh's teachers. While none are exactly like any of those players' reeds, they are a mix of what she has enjoyed in each of those styles.
The brand of cane used varies depending on who is producing good quality cane. A hardness tester is used for consistency and all cane is what Leigh also uses for her own personal reeds (not cheap cane specifically for reeds sold).
The art of reed making is an ever-developing skill. While the GoBassoon Reed is well established, Leigh is constantly learning more and incorporating new knowledge into her reeds.
All reeds are tested on a 9000 series Heckel
