Cane is sourced from France and carefully hand-selected to ensure the highest quality

All cane is gouged using a Reed’s n Stuff machine and concentric blade (cane thickness is uniform).
The Reeds 'n Stuff Bassoon Tip Profiler is designed to remove cane off the lay of the blades of a clipped reed or a blank. The tip profiler removes wood from 1/2 to 3/4 of the reed blade, leaving the back as thick as the profiler leaves it, essentially doing a great deal of finishing of the reed except for specific choices of the reed maker to fine-tune the reed. The tube end of the reed is held on a mandrel with a black knob that is removable and has a dedicated location when not in use. An adjustment knob on top can help you customize the thickness of your finishing dimensions.

The Fox #1 bassoon shaper is a Modified Knochenauer shape. This is still essentially a Knochenauer style but will include a combination of straight and curved segments.
