Wonderful series, well done! Lots of good information and content, as well as a very cinematic presentation! (Multiple camera angles were a win!) I feel like there need to be more bassoonist who make tutorials of their process that are also enjoyable to watch! Thank you for this!

I've started playing bassoon last September and expressed interest in getting reed blanks. I don't have a machine to finish it. How would you hand finish a reed?
+jose 318 there are many videos on finishing reeds by hand. Try www.steesbassoon.com for a start and just google as there are many players who have shared using files and knives to finish without machines.
I loved the line, "incantations and spells". Hilarious!

When you are scoring, do you go all the way through the cane, or only partially? Thanks!
