Any tips on how to get such a beautiful tone out of the bassoon?

[Albuermeduardo]

@STMAKnightMike Well, the Renard series of Fox bassoons have this nice tone with their owm bocals. At this performance, I was using the CVX #3 that comes with the instrument. Now I have a Heckel cc1 because I need to play a little higher in pitch at my job. What kind of bassoon do you have?

[STMAKnightMike]

@Albuermeduardo I've got a Renard by Fox, and I honestly have no idea what reed does what for your instument. Recently I've been playing on a Marlin Lesher and just switched to Jones....wood reeds of course. What are your recomendations on reed brands?

[Albuermeduardo]

@STMAKnightMike I recommend you to make your own. I use Rieger cane and I am trying glotin also now. In terms of shape, do not use wide ones, because the pitch goes low with it. Also, do not leave he tip too thin. I hope this helps and I am open to any more questions. God bless!!!!
