I’m going to show you a little bit
how I make a reed.
First of all, we have a piece of cane.
Every bassoon player will know what this is.
A piece of cane.
I learnt to make reeds in a way,
later I developed my own style of making reeds,
and with time, I realised that the best thing for me
was to play the reeds
I used to play at the beginning.
So, I’m going to use a little bit of sand paper...
... just to, very lightly,
... sand the sides, which are a bit rough.
That’s it.
Now, this,
as it is made now, this blank,
I would leave it for a couple of weeks to dry.
