Reed Characteristics:

Legacy bassoon reeds are highly consistent in their construction reed-to-reed, which exemplifies the great care the maker gives to each reed. Their sound concept strikes a pleasing balance between vibrance and warmth. While these reeds are capable of playing in all registers, they tend to play the best in the low register. They feel somewhat resistant, so these reeds would be best suited for players who like to have something to lean into with their air.
