Fox Bassoon Shapers
The Fox Bassoon Shapers are a standard option for making bassoon reeds, especially in the American style. These shapers are in the flat or straight style, meaning that the cane is shaped without it being folded. It is intended to be used with cane that has been gouged, but it will accept cane that is profiled as well.
