Bel Canto Reeds
- premium quality hand-made bassoon reeds -
Our Philosophy...

As musicians, we are all primarily interested in making music - not spending valuable time
worrying about and scraping on reeds. If you have embarked on the road to making your
own reeds you know that the process is an art form, not simply a craft that can easily be
taught. As musicians, educators,and advocates for this instrument (we have to be - five
members of our family play the bassoon - so far)  we have long been concerned with the
quality of commercially available reeds. That's why we have gone into business. We believe
(with over 50 years of experience between the two of us) that we have developed the
expertise to design and produce a reed that will help bassoonist to reach their full playing
potential by allowing them to concentrate on what got into the business to do - make music!
We also believe bassoonists need encouragement - that is why even though we spend a good
deal of time on each reed - we want to keep the price as low as we can. For $12.95 a piece
we don't think you will find a better value anywhere!
