Reeds 'n Stuff Bassoon Forming Mandrel

The classic forming mandrel. The forming mandrel is 2.3 mm wide at the tip and has a two-part progression towards the back to allow the reeds to be gently opened from the inside.

Ideal for smaller shapes and those who prefer reeds which are less round in the area of the first two wires.

Reeds 'n Stuff forming mandrels and reamers are designed to harmonize with one another. Their parabolic design allows for a smooth airflow and solid seat on the bocal.

The ergonomic wooden handle of our reed making tools provides for ease of use and is made of oiled beechwood.
