FINALLY!! A reed making book that is not just an oversimplified cookbook or a dictatorial 'How-to Manual.' With the all-important bigger picture at the forefront, this book is entirely unique at its core when compared to all the other reed-making books out there. * Roger Tropman, bassoonist, teacher, and owner of www.nexuswoodwind.com * Nothing like this outstanding volume exists anywhere. The language is easy to understand, and is a 'must read' for those seriously studying the bassoon. It contains a thorough guide to bassoon reed-making, from elementary procedures to professional methods. The book goes beyond reed-making to present information about fingerings, articulations, and many of the musical problems a professional bassoonist has to learn and solve. * Bernard Garfield, Philadelphia Orchestra principal bassoon, retired *
