The Bassoon Straight Shapers from Reeds 'n Stuff offer an alternative, accessible way to try different bassoon reed shapes, both old and new. Reeds 'n Stuff has goes to great lengths to work with people to bring classic shapes to straight shaper form, or to develop something entirely new.
Shapers come in a box with a canvas pouch, and a set of silicone pegs the help shaping cane that is profiled. Only insert these when shaping profiled cane!
In order to guarantee absolute symmetry, Reeds 'n Stuff manufactures their straight shapers using the latest CNC technology. Through complex hardening processes, the contour remains unchanged.
