Product Description

The BD3 Windeler bassoon has a very warm and round sound and is more suited to the low and mid range of the bassoon, making it ideal for playing 2nd bassoon parts. They are made in Germany and suit good amateur to advanced players very well.

Perfect for amateur to advanced bassoonists

The Windeler bassoon reed BD3 is designed for amateur to advanced players and suits 2nd Bassoon or low bassoon parts. It is designed to be able to play very quietly when playing low on the bassoon, which can often be very hard work if the reed you are using isn't suited to playing low and quiet passages.

Warm and Responsive

It has a warm and rounded 'Germanic' sound which is very full bodied. The Windeler bassoon reed is responsive making it fairly easy to play. The reed is of a medium strength.

Long lasting German Windeler quality

Windeler bassoon reeds are made in Germany by one of Windelers past pupils. The cane and raw materials are handpicked to ensure every reed is of the highest quality.

Aled's review

A nice reed. I'm assured it's a Windeler BD3 but it's black whereas the image on the website is red. Very confused.

Excellent Windler bassoon reed

I tried this reed recent and it seems to be superbly reliable and with a wonderful tone.

Good reed

Reeds arrived promptly, and played reasonably well. Needs a bit of work to get the sound and response I really want.

Windeler Medium

This reed has been brilliant for my 13 year old daughter, playing at about Grade 4/ 5 level. It works well straight from the box - no scraping or adjustments necessary!

A great responsive Reed!

I sat down at orchestra and thought, I’ll do it, I’ll break in a new reed. All ranges proved very responsive, great for intonation and most importantly gave me confidence for the Figaro overture!
