The Stradivarius of the Bassoon
PRO REEDS is a partner in the "Le Basson Savary" research project of the Bern Academy of Art and the Swiss National Fund. The instruments produced by the Paris bassoon maker, Jean-Nicolas Savary le jeune (1786-1853) were highly regarded and were even called "the Stradivarius of the Bassoon".
An excerpt from the research project description describes the project: "In conjunction with instrument makers, musicians and specialists, a range of well-maintained original instruments will be located and then studied and measured for their playing qualities. From the Instruments, which were created over a 30 year period, a bassoon that is suitable for performances today will be looked for, selected and replicated to original specifications and reeds using historical models will be developed."
