You have made the best video I have seen so far in my life concerning the construction of the reed.

Thank you. I played the bassoon in high school (50+ years ago) and loved it. They were trying plastic reeds back them. I never liked the plastic ones. Fun video.

Fascinating! All those years hanging out with bassoonists, I’ve never seen their full reed making process!

Thanks for the video. I used to make my bassoon reeds from shaped cane back in college. Of course, as a busy student, I used heat-shrink tubing instead of glue and thread.

Wow! I am teaching myself on bassoon. I play oboe and English horn and make reeds for them. This is a very different process!

I'm certain you won't remember me from the Music Academy of the West 1971 as a fellow bassoonist but I can still recall the beginning solo from the Rite of Spring you played. It was perfection. Do you still have that VW bug stored in a garage somewhere?

It seems you have updated the Stevens machines into the 21st century. I have a hand crank gouger of Bob's. It was broken down and Bob just gave it to me. (I fixed it and use it still) Bob's profiler was also automatic in operation. I am not sure if there is a reason for this...maybe to prevent scorching of the cane. My copy is manually operated. I can go a little faster than your or Bob's old machine. I have never have trouble with burning or scorching the cane. I do have a little trouble with the shaping. Once in a while I will burn a bit mostly at the butt probably because I don't trim the cane at all. I use flat profilers and a trim bit with two bearings on a router table. I tried using one bearing and my profilers show the scars of learning how to do it. I have used the barrel on rod technique to make a profiler and am applying for a patent based on new art. It is for the bassoonist that doesn't want to use primitive machines which require blending the sides into the heart of the reed. It will do both bassoon & contra reeds.(available at Forrest's Music) Ii am using a razor blade inserted into a barrel to bevel. I have a machine to do 4 scores. Need to make one for contra. I made a hogger to pregouge cane. I have also gotten very good at using Bob's wire twisting pliers. Here are some of my machines in action. kzitem.info/news/bejne/sWakyousfnh-m2U

Do you make a version of the beveling jig? I have been trouble getting your website to load.

@@BlakleyBassoon It is very simple to make my beveling tool. Using a band saw cut an aluminum tube about 6 inches long the diameter of your gouge about an inch or so on one end and force a razor blade in the cut so the sharp side of the blade and butt of the tube are flush. The cut must be precisely centered. Draw your cane along the blade to get your bevel. A little practice is needed. Your forefinger on the end of the tube is your stop. The blade can not protrude beyond the butt of the tube.

Forty-six years? Wow! Congratulations. This is a fascinating process to watch. Those machines are amazing. Unfortunately, I had to stop watching early on because of the camera focus problem. Maybe next time.
