@Krauser012345 im sorry but i actually do...ive been playing basson for 8 years now and have made reeds for 5 of those years...and plastic reeds are complete shit

Secondly, he didn't even describe the most important part of making a reed. Which is shaping the tip with a reed knife which is what the sound depends on. Even if he is a Julliard instructor, I think there is better
