Bassoon reed: Patricia

As a curious reed maker I always collected information from all my professores and colleagues from all over the world, with whom I have been playing. As a result this reeds are a combination of many reed making traditions combined to my own desire.

Resulting in reeds that produce a warm sound with flexibility and easy response that allow me to navigate in the different music styles and demands, trusting that my reed will comply.

I offer 3 different reed options, each with its own characteristics, so that one can easily achieve the kind of sound and texture needed.
