Dr Downing Music

I received my order of your Bassoon reed doctor, bassoon technique and bassoon professional fingering chart today. Thank you very much they are superb. I can get a wonderful Eb now!!!! And your suggestion to totally soak the whole reed for 5 minutes worked an absolute treat. Two reeds I thought were far too hard are real beauties. I read on John Schroder's website that he has his reeds permanently in a Colman's mustard jar full of vodka. They only come out when he plays them. Is this a good idea? Though I would be worried about being breathalysed.

We thought the Bassoon Reed Doctor was great - nice job!!! - Potsdam, New York -

I want to thank for your book. It is amazing !!! My reeds improve 100 %. They are very good. I suggest your book between musicians in San Juan. There are two musicians interested. When they have money, I will write to you for more books.

Dear Ms. Downing, We received the charts and could not be happier. I am teaching my daughter and grandson music. With your help, they can carry these charts around and practice fingering all the time. Learning the notes should go much faster now. Thankyou again.

I am so impressed with the books that they are worth every penny (or pence ?). Thanks, let me know about your next issues.
