This video is a brief summary of the characteristics of a German-style bassoon reed as described by Christopher Weait. A trailer of the major work available as a two disc DVD from weaitmusic.com.
A good bassoon reed can also have a curved side, as found in some reed shapes sold by major German companies. The way he talks is not about a good bassoon reed. It is just about his good bassoon reeds. It sounds awkwardly authoritative, but somehow misleading.
Thank you
Good
This reed looks like N american reed. Has nothing in common with italian or german reeds, but sounds really good and round.
