Sometime this year I'm going to be in the market for a French bassoon, and I'll need reeds, as well. Does anybody have any suggestions? I'm pretty sure Luc...
... Allen, you might want to try Neuranter in Paris (I think they use P. Hanon's reeds). I'm not sure, but I think Larry Ibisch also sells reeds. Good luck! ...
For what it's worth, a personal note: I play on Neuranter reeds (the Hanon model) with a length of 60 mm when using my overtone-rich three dot gold-brass bocal...
Gentlemen, The best reeds I have ever played upon are made by one of our own members, Lewis Dann in the UK. I gave up on Glotin/Neuranter reeds long ago....
hi andy and all, the link below did not work for me but eventually i found the pictures by putting hanon in the recherche page. yes, his reed looks big. do you...
Thanks for all the responses so far! If it helps, my ideal French tone is somewhere between Noël Devos, Luc Loubry, and Laurent Lefevre--Devos' brilliance...
Dear all, I got a reed from Philippe Hanon on his recent Boston visit with his orchestra. I am on vacation right now, but when I return home, I will be more...
SEARCH recording of the concerto for bassoon of Vaubourgoin there would be a version French broadcasting service with Allard of 1972?????? HERVE LUSSIEZ...
As I've said before, sometime this year, depending on when my Fagott sells, I'm going to be in the market for un basson. It's a bit of a risk on my part,...
Allen, Having recently met both Audin and Loubry and heard them play, I would characterize their sound as very dark and about as far from the old French nasal...
Hi Allen, I buy sell and restore French bassoons. Have played French bassoons for more than 40 years. I have a bias for older instruments. Have had newer horns...
Hi all (again), I should probably clarify a couple of things. One, by "in the middle of the continent" I meant northern Arkansas, which, aside from Dr. ...
... The oboists on this recording are Lucien Debray and Jacques Chambon. Maurice Bourgue plays English horn. Wonderful playing from all of them. Sincerely, ...
Howdy, I did get a hold of the Poulenc chamber works compilation that EMI re-released, so I've added the "Sonate pour clarinette et basson" with Amaury Wellez...
(Howdy,) I've added Katarzyna Piotrowska-Wilczewski playing Tadeusz Baird's "4 preludes". Analog stuff is not far off, perhaps tomorrow Allard's Boismortier...
Hello Everyone, Just posted on YouTube the last 2 movements of the Wolf-Ferrari Concertino for your listening pleasure(perhaps). Just type in "French bassoon"...
Hi Jim, Great to see and hear that. I don't think the strings did you any favours so I wouldn't worry too much about your tuning in relation to them. I too...
Hi John, Many thanks for your kind words. It's funny with community orchestras, at least the one's I've played with, that the weakest members will usually be...
I wonder if that gentleman could have been Ted Planas? He was certainly a legend when it came to woodwind instruments. He pinned a Buffet for me in the early...
dear colleagues and jim, thanks for the youtube posting. i did enjoy it! -not sure if i ever heard that piece before though i've heard about it, solid and...
Hi Peter, Yes, that was he. He had to have been in his late 60's or early 70's back in 1974. He was very kind and helpful to me at the time. I remember him...
I didn't know Ted Planas myself, but I have some clarinet playing colleagues who knew and loved him, and he never seemed to take much money for his work...
John, That Loubry recording is what I based my own interpretation on. He is an amazing player with a poetic style all his own. I have many of his other CD's...
Hi Chuck, Many thanks for the kind words. I think one of my motives in posting on YouTube was to get a little dialogue going here about sound and pitch, etc...
Howdy!, The Boismortier is now on...This one (in my hands) also turned out to be Allard: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320258354185 So,...
Thanks Guy again for the excellent work. Just wanted to point out that the Allard Poulenc, Hongne Weber and the Allard Art of Fugue have all been re-issued on...
