Thank you for viewing. This is a listing for one finished contrabassoon reed. ・Reed Dimensions Blade: Approximately 36mm Tube: Approximately 37.5mm Total Length: Approximately 73.5mm The shaper used is a Rieger No. K1 (tip width 20.00mm). ※Rieger No. K1 is an orthodox type of shaper that combines a unified tone and rich resonance. ・Materials German Rimpl (Material origin: France or Spain) Rimpl materials are selected, processed, and sold from Rigotti, Marca, and Medir materials. The tendency is a fine-grained material with a moderate luster and a bright tone. The hardness is selected and used from 13 to 20 (slightly hard to slightly soft) on a Reeds'n Stuff hardness tester. To minimize changes after finishing, it takes about two months from assembly to finishing. During finishing, the reed is carved so that the "p" articulation responds without problems, and a wide range from low to high notes can be played with good balance, from "p" to "f." Because it is finished so that a vibrant tone is maintained even when playing "f," it is mainly suitable for intermediate to advanced players, such as: ・Those who want to blow a little harder ・Those with a large lung capacity ・Those who like reeds with resistance ※Since the reed has been test-played during finishing, it is listed as "Like New." #Bassoon #Bassoon
