Formed from the start
Allowing reeds to dry on the forming mandrel gives them the desired shape on the inside while also reducing the effort required to form the reed waist with pliers.
Our drying board with wooden plate is compatible with all interchangeable oboe and bassoon mandrels from our range. Thanks to its thoughtful design, the mandrels can be replaced at any time without compromising stability. For maximum flexibility, the base plate and mandrels can be ordered separately, allowing you to create your own custom combination. The wooden plate is available with or without securing points, which allow the drying board to be safely mounted at your workstation.
Inspired by a Master
This forming mandrel is inspired by the forming mandrels designed by Don Christlieb. This new version, similar to the original design, pairs perfectly with the Herzberg shape but works equally well with most shapes.
The mandrel includes several engraved lines: one which marks a recommended position for forming the tube, and one which marks a recommended position after beveling. The mandrel has also been extended to include a third line for contrabassoon reeds.
