Why do many bassoonists buy
their reeds and cane from
VIGDER'S BASSOON SUPPLIES?
1) All bassoon reeds are handmade over a period of 21 days with a gouging machine, profiling machine, two hands, files, and patience. 2) All reeds are tested before you receive them on a bassoon with real music and are not shipped to you unless I feel you can use them immediately. 3) All reeds are made with 21 gauge wire, which is slightly stronger than the the standard 22 gauge wire and which I feel will hold the blades and the entire reed in place better. 4) All other supplies are made in the same meticulous manner as the finished bassoon reeds. 5)please note the "requested delivery date" on the order form. 6)When ordering, always follow these strength guidelines:
---medium soft-the e below open f dips into an e b, but stabilizes the next day.
---medium---plays staccato & legato from high g all the way down to low B b EASILY.
---medium hard-- quite resistant throughout
7) If you have never ordered from me before, I have made reeds and all of the items in this web site for many university, conservatory,high school and junior high teachers throughout this country since 1976; and for major suppliers of double reeds as well. 8) I can ship to ANY country , any size order with registered mail.It only costs $ 21.00 including including international FIRST CLASS shipping.
