Finished bassoon reed. The thread wrapping is minimized at the base. Because the thread is less tightly wound, the overtones are rich and the tone is clear. The tone will stand out even in tutti passages. Thin thread is used, so there is firm pressure even at the base. Minimizing the thread wrapping allows for rich overtones, makes it easier to produce a loud sound, and makes it easier to control the tone with your embouchure. The wooden part is resin-coated, so there are no air leaks.
