A new edition of my very popular bassoon reed making video, now with steps including selecting and splitting tube cane, gouging, and new methods of forming the tube with faster techniques including using a power drill and orbital sander!
After 4 1/2 years my original "The Making of a Bassoon Reed" video has over 37k views, and is one of the most watched bassoon reed making videos on RU-vid. I've grown as a reed maker since then, and purchase new equipment to make reeds from the tube cane stage, as well as make my process more efficient. So with those changes I thought it might be worth making an updated reed making video. I started filming the process last summer but got interrupted before it was done by my cancer diagnosis and treatment. But I finally had an opportunity to finish filming the final pieces and do a narration of the process as before. Again, this isn't a tutorial video and if you don't know anything about reed making I'll probably talk about things that won't make any sense, but that's not a big deal I don't think.
