These exact things are why I’m SO happy you made this video. I asked him (Robert Jordan) in an email how this affected notes above his intended A3-D4, and he didn’t reply to me. It brings me back to the talk I had with my teacher Julie Feves in grad school when I was considering adding some keywork to my bassoon: “Everything you do is going to affect the way the bassoon plays and sounds.” So, RJordan: when you make the clutch mechanism that connects to maybe RH 2nd-finger-ring (I know it’s a halfway point between your system and the Weisberg system-but…) that disengages the “Jordan key”, and makes it stay closed otherwise: I’ll be down as a found (then).
I feel bad for the bassoon player I wanted to play a bassoon but i play clarinet and piano and trombone and i always feel intimidated by him

I would love to observe you utilizing the dry method. Since it was the only method my teachers taught. I'm not acquainted with the Skinner method although most of the students I came up with (70's) went to him.

What hand rest do you use? My teacher has a very similar one. I currently use the basic fox one and I find it just doesnt provide much support. I find my right hand thumb often shifting to an incorrect position on the Bb key and when I shift it to the correct position, my hand has to lift off the hand rest to accomodate that.

I have used custom carved crutches by Eric Anderson (repair tech at Midwest Musical Imports) for about a decade now. The one shown here is currently in use on my contra, but I have another by him on the bassoon now. There are less expensive options with similar supports, but I had a specific piece of wood I wanted used so it's very bespoke.

Out of curiosity, are you using a custom MD profiler template? It could just be an optical illusion of the video, but it looks like the point at which your template changes angle is set further back than what's on my MD profiler. I ask, because I've been trying to get a profile that's thin enough to easily fold, like you do in this video, without thinning the eventual heart too much. With the experimentation I've done so far, the thinnest I've managed to get the center fold is between 45-50mm thick, which requires supporting it with a metal ruler when folding, which for me usually means my collars don't line up. There's a video Ariel Detwiler has where she shows a method for correcting that, and that's worked for me so far, but that adds an extra step to my process, and I'm lazy.
@TrentJacobs11 ай бұрын
Nothing custom. What I do is set the barrel pins to be on the rounded side, so it doesn't profile a spine. Additionally, you can move the template laterally, which puts the point where the slope begins farther back on the reed, and makes for a thinner tip compared to the collar.

This is a piece for bassoon and percussion by composer and percussionist Gene Koshinski. The very end of the piece has a quote from Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" but I changed that to "the lick" for this performance to get an extra laugh from the audience. I guess, since the algorithm is pushing this so much, i'll add this to the description.

Great video! How much time would you estimate you spend per reed? What's the failure rate, ignoring the pieces you toss after splitting the cane?
@TrentJacobs Жыл бұрын
Well, you are seeing the entire process, so the length of the video until I'm done play testing the first one is the time it takes. For me, roughly 15 minutes. Probably a bit less. Failure rate is really low. Less than 1/50 I would say unless I run into a particularly fragile batch when they're just all splitting, but that's really uncommon. I'm pretty high yield though, most people are either pickier than me or I'm just able to make them work. I'm not sure which is more accurate.
@patrickcrabb6212 Жыл бұрын
Just now stumbling across this, does the same thing happen when a singer sings in a subharmonic voice? Or I'm I thinking of a different technique, I don't know. Our voice can do weird things when we train it. Because in the world of vocal bass when we want to have the range of an oktavist, but don't have it in our chest range, we drop out our vocal folds and introduce our false folds. This drops our voice by an octave* giving us the range we so desired. But, we lose tone and timbre in exchange for this range--which is largely dependent on the individual person. Eeeh, just a fun thought. Might be the same thing that's happening. I haven't really found much that explains why our voice can do this, not just bass voices, every voice can do this. *This is a bit of a lie. You do get the octave, but it dynamically mimics your chest voice. So, if E2 is strong you can expect a good E1. But, if your D2 is weak your D1 will be even weaker and toneless.
