As principal bassoonist with the Orchestra of the Welsh National Opera, a busy freelance player (orchestral and soloist) and also Professor of Bassoon at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, I am keenly aware of just how important it is, for both the professional and the student, to have the perfect bassoon reed

I have always made my own bassoon reeds and realised some years ago that they could benefit all players of all standards and so I have been been selling them now for 15 years.

Also, I invented and patented the counter balance seat strap which affords absolute stability of the bassoon when playing and helps to maintain correct posture. It is particularly effective for young players.
