The Britannia bassoon reed is our most popular reed, perhaps in part because it is
medium in all characteristics. It is a lighter-weight responsive bassoon reed used
by a range of players from the early stages to the very experienced.
The design gives a bassoon reed with a warm tone with good resonance. The medium
shape gives a good tonal breadth and a balanced response over all registers.
Overall these features combine to offer a responsive bassoon reed with a warm mellow
medium-broad tone.
