This textured black plastic bassoon reed case is able to hold 8 reeds in a ribbon type holder. The interior of the reed case is covered in fabric and it says shut using two plastic 'snap' locks.
This bassoon reed case measures approximately 2cm x 8.5cm x 10.6cm and so will fit in most bassoon cases.
Reeds in picture not included.
This case is perfect for my son. He loves it. He is in middle school and appreciates having multiple reeds and a safe place to put them as he carries everything to and from school. It fits inside his bassoon case.
He also loves the kit we got to repair and adjust his reeds.
I am very pleased with the reed case! I like the fact that I can fit 8 reeds in the case in the small space. Perfect for storing the extra reeds
Good price, perfect space-saving dimensions, much lighter than my previous clunky wooden reed box. I also found I can put reeds in the same direction alongside each other (not the zig-zag pattern you see in the picture), which I like.
My only criticism is that - being light-weight plastic - the box closing mechanism doesn't easily clip together. I find I have to apply pressure to close it securely. Nonetheless, this case is heads and shoulders above others in terms of the number of reeds it can store and its overall weight and size. Thoroughly recommended! :)
I love the placement of the reed holder in the center of the case so you can alternate the the so the tips don’t hit and chip. Most cases only allow you to secure your reeds facing one way, which places Reed tips next to each other which ca result in tip damage.
Hello Marcia,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are pleased to hear you love the case! Happy bassooning!

I wanted a compact reed case to hold a reasonable number of reeds but which would fit into my (old-style, inflexible, pocket-less) bassoon case. The innovative design of this one, with space to "dovetail" reeds by placing alternate reeds so that they face in opposite directions, ticks the box on that front very well. However, the reeds are not firmly gripped by the insert (meaning that they can slide / swivel within the case), and the front catch is somewhat flimsy. I am looking at ways to modify / replace the insert using foam with slits cut to grip the staple, so that it holds the reeds more securely. Overall it works and is good value compared with the pricier models available, but the design could definitely be improved.
Excellent service, as usual, and the case does its job well.
Unfortunately, the reed case when in situ, is too big by a fraction of an inch to allow the lid of my instrument case to close.
That's no fault of yours, of course, and I can live with it!
Many thanks and best wishes.
Nice little reed box, a good shape and size. It would hold 8 but I prefer to spread them out a bit!
The inside holds the reed securely and well padded, but I guess I was expecting something different in a heavier plastic for the price.
Very nice bassoon reed case have had any problems with is or my reeds thank you
This is a good case for a student, holding 8 reeds carefully. It's plastic and quite a tight shut so important to let reeds air before closure - would be better with a small air hole somewhere but otherwise very good value

Very good reed box, protects eight reeds well and is perfect for students. Does what it says on the tin!

A bit stuffy as delivered, but good after a little scraping
Sadly I bought two of these reeds and both are not performing as I wished. One reed is already out of alignment and is splitting, although I have only used it three or four times. I have had problems with response despite soaking the reeds thoroughly before use. I completed the questionnaire in order to select a reed but on this occasion it has not worked for me. I am not a professional player but do play regularly with an amateur Orchestra. This is a lot of money to have spent to end up with two reeds which are not working as they should.
Really pleased with the reeds and service - would highly recommend
This reed gave a really warm, clear tone and felt responsive to play.
So far I am finding the reeds good. I am elderly so cannot manage a hard reed so it is useful to be able to get a softer one. I'll see how they last.
This reed is very responsive and easy to play, definitely on the soft side of medium. For me though, I find the tone a bit on the thin side. A friend has tried the reed with the same result..
This is my go-to choice of wire. A good balance of flexibility/strength.
I have used Urbach reeds for 50 years and I love them . The cane is far superior to other makes . Usually come ready to blow , just slight wire adjustment.
These reeds are well made and playable straight out of the box. Good attack at the bottom but also maintaining a good tone in the tenor register.
Really pleased with the reeds and service - would highly recommend
Quick delivery, excellent quality service!
