This is incredible information. Thank you for taking on this project!

Interesting video! I recently got my 2xreed scoring tool. Kind of have a hard time to score with it. When using too light pressure, it looks scored, but not great. With more pressure I can’t get the tool as smoothly across the tube like you do. So I get chumps and places where you can see where the tool stopped with scoring. . . I also have Rieger’s mandrel support, which doesn’t crack the reed after having scored it. After that I use the threading technique that I use on making my cor anglais reeds, starting between the lower quarter and middle of the tube.

Why am I watching this… *im a saxophonist*

Have you tried any of the carbide Xacto products to see if they stay sharper longer?

Hi Andrew, If you want to increase the depth of field, ( the range of distance from the lens inside of which things remain in focus) it can be done. Try to increase the light, allowing a lower shutter speed for a given aperture. If you can close the aperture but maintain the same shutter speed, it will give you a longer depth of field. For any level of light, if you close the aperture and lower the shutter speed it will have the side effect of increasing the depth of field. Adding light will make this far easier.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

HI Everyone, one comment from Chad Taylor on FB I thought would be helpful to read here: "I used to do this and yes it will create a more open reed tip aperture. The downside is I found that it also made my reeds play alot flatter overall and required more embochure pressure than what I was comfortable with. After about 11 years of trial and error, I went back to conventional beveling and I (as well as my embochure) were far happier" - Chad E Taylor

@10:43 The collars are so incredibly clean, and straight, and they appear to have a good right angle. I don't know how you do it- if it is entirely cut while the cane is on the profiling barrel, but- it's impressive. I know you've shared a strategy in the past, in this video, is this still your approach to cleaning the collar, or have you changed it from this method? ruclips.net/video/2Y_C_qaLPbI/видео.html Regardless, this was a great video, thank you for sharing this.

OMG! Who made THAT REED??? 3:06 LOL

Thats a very interesting video Andrew!!! When do you use then the Weait tool?

Awesome Andrew! Thank you so much again for sharing! EGM lol

I just love the opening. Tgb

Awesome video! Gonna try to takes these tips in my reed making. Can’t make any now cause my GSP cane stash is empty atm. I got a Georg Rieger Tip profiler (templates 10 and 60). I usually have a very distinctive line where the blade starts shaving cane. Even when the blade just hovers over the cane. Also, the tip tapers quite a bit.

where am I able to buy that sheet music ? My son would love to play this for jis solo .

How does a kid walk into a manufacturer and order that quality of instrument, and perhaps, more to the point, pay for it.

what about a foldover shaper? should I shape the cane dry or wet?

Hello, Rimpl profiler make a really cool collar too!

Yes. Teachers are *so* important. Thank goodness I've struck gold with my bassoon teacher!

I am in the generation that precedes you. Therefore my teachers were yet another! generation back. The style was to berate, insult, and attack the student to get them to work up to the level the teachers wanted. Years later I was involved in setting up a mentorship program, and everyone was to talk about their mentors that helped them. I had nothing to say! There was no MENTORSHIP attitude when I started... just bullying. I think part of it is the era, but now it is unacceptable to teach that way. That is a good thing :)

When I walked into the audition room for the university choir as a first year in front of a panel of four and an accompanist, the director asked me my name, and I said “um, James”. “Um James, is it? Your name is Um James?” I started to put my music back in my bag and was ready to walk out there and then, but luckily he said something else and got me to sing. Anyway that’s the day I found out I’m a countertenor, so I’m glad his terrible first impression didn’t lead me to quit singing there and then!

I've never clicked so fast 😂

Thank you!

What an amazing woman! Her passion for her music is palpable

What an amazing career. So incredibly inspiring. Thank you, Andrew!

Are these solos for sale and in modern notation? I would love to include one in a DMA recital.

Very informative, thank you! I wish I could see and hear more Vincenzo talking about the making aspect of the instrument too, it was very illuminating!

Excellent video, thank you!

Splendid video with alot of interesting things found nowhere else🎉

This is an amazing and such an important video! Thank you Andrew for sharing this.

I heard Millard talk about a reed as a "pressure valve" a while back and was all "WTF is he talking about?!" But this explains it much better. Although I still think of pressure valves as something that regulates PSI rather than distributes pulses of air and a particular rate.

Muy buena entrevista, muy interesante.

Why didn't you make this video when I started baroque bassoon? :-)

🥰😍😘♥

❤❤❤

Thank you for the video Andrew! Very interesting and helpful :)

on recorder, traverso ... bassoon. Wonderful! <3

Beautiful.

Hello! Please, make video about using dial indicator. Thanks for your work.

What the Discovery theme sounds like to me is a composer doodling of an afternoon. It just doesn't work. It's nothing. The final chord is just plain weird, drawing attention to what is, effectively, the whole piece's atonality in a way that just screams "why"? Musically, what is the intention behind that chord? To be jarring to the viewer? What for? It doesn't excite me to expect adventures. It doesn't make me sad. It doesn't make me horrified. It feels almost like "oh I need to end it somewhere but let's mix it up a bit for no reason". It's perfunctory and sloppy, which surely is NOT the feel you want to create going into each episode!

Beautiful Andrew! Who made your Dulcian and what pitch instrument are you playing here?

Wonderful video. I've been playing the Rieger 1A for a long time successfully but I'd like a shape that would be a bit more helpful for the extreme upper register and a bit more "lighter" for tonguing. I tried the Thunemann shape and found it a bit on the heavy side. Although it does have a bit more power than the 1A. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Good video! I appreciate the tip profiler blade depth recommendation of .04mm. Do you have a recommendation for blade depth on a profiler? Thanks!

I've listened to a lot of Prof Jane Gower's music and have attended many of her concerts. I must confess that her performances are always wonderful, and her mastery of the bassoon is truly inspiring, Each piece she plays is filled with emotion and perfection, representing her incredible talent and passion for the instrument. She connects with her audience and brings the music to life is unmatched. Her concerts are an unforgettable experience and so is her smile. I feel incredibly fortunate to witness her performance and am always looking forward to her next performance. If you see this, please keep sharing your gift with the world Prof. Jane!

What key is your bassoon in?

Wonderful relaxed playing and great intonation

Love it. Super Helpful.🥰

I prefer weissinborn method for bassoon but this book looks promising thank you

Wonderful, Andrew! Thanks for posting this.

whoaaa what kind of bassoon is that??
