                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/generated/product/1/390_255_100/1299-00060.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;&lt;hgroup&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Formed from the start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our drying board with wooden plate is compatible with all &lt;b&gt;interchangeable&lt;/b&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/hgroup&gt;
&lt;hgroup&gt;
  &lt;h2&gt;Inspired by a Master&lt;/h2&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our mandrels and reamers complete the process of fitting the reed precisely
to the bocal. The matching parabolic taper of the mandrel and reamer allows
for a precise fit of the reed to the bocal, as well as proper volume inside the
reed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Multi-fluted Spiral Reamer cuts very easily and the Diamond Reamer perfectly
finishes the inside.

&lt;h1&gt;Back to Beginnings&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This mandrel is designed to return the tip opening to its original dimensions. It was created in cooperation with Per Hannevold and his teacher Harold Goltzer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reeds often lose their inner curvature, becoming flatter and closing down over time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

                <pubDate>Fri, 17 Apr 2026 13:17:02 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/generated/product/1/390_255_100/1204-00029.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;&lt;section&gt;
   &lt;h1&gt;Eject&lt;/h1&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;The ejector ring for contrabassoon reeds is used to easily detach the reed from the mandrel after the wire has been fixed. In addition, by using an ejector ring you avoid twisting the reed when pulling it off the mandrel, which would otherwise lead to undesired blade slippage.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;Due to it&#039;s unique design, the ejector ring can be set to any desired position on the mandrel.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;The ejector ring fits on all mandrels with a maximum diameter of 6.5 mm, and can also be used as a depth stop on spiral-fluted and diamond-coated reamers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul class=&quot;detailgallery&quot;&gt;

&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use the Ejector Ring as a depth stop, so that your reeds are always formed the same way and you do not have to remember how far above or below the line you form your reeds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Turn the silver portion of the Ejector Ring to begin pushing your reed off the mandrel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-img&quot;&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using the Ejector Ring allows you to easily remove the reed without twisting the tube and causing blade slippage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;


&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item&quot;&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using the included hex key you can adjust the position of the Ejector Ring to any position on the forming mandrel you desire.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-img&quot;&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Ejector Ring can also be used as a depth stop on the spiral reamer, allowing for a consistent final diameter when reaming the inside of the tube.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item&quot;&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Similarly, the Ejector Ring can be used as a depth stop on the diamond reamer, providing consistency from reed to reed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;section&gt;

   &lt;h1&gt;Well Formed&lt;/h1&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;The parabolic forming mandrel for contra bassoon reeds is newly designed to meet your reed making needs. Several crucial measurements were taken from a host of contra bassoon reeds in the most popular shapes to provide key thicknesses at the back of the reed as well as throughout the tube.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;The tip of the mandrel is less than 2 mm wide - small enough to fit between the pieces of cane after folding and help open up the tube. Use one mandrel to form the tubes from start to finish.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Standard&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The classic forming mandrel. The forming mandrel is 2.3 mm wide at the tip and has a two-part progression towards the back to allow the reeds to be gently opened from the inside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ideal for smaller shapes and those who prefer reeds which are less round in the area of the first two wires.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;PLUS&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those who prefer a more rounded throat we have developed, together with Prof. David Petersen, the forming mandrel PLUS. The tip is 3.2 mm wide, which helps give reeds a larger and rounder throat opening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ideal for wider shapes and those who prefer a larger inner cavity in the their reeds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;


&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;section&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Harmony&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our compact forming mandrels and reamers are designed to harmonize with one another.&lt;br&gt;
Their parabolic design allows for a smooth airflow and solid seat on the bocal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;section&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Ergonomic&lt;/h1&gt;

    &lt;h1&gt;Compact&lt;/h1&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;Our compact series of mandrels is exactly the same as our full size mandrels, but with a smaller handle.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;This smaller handle is designed for musicians who travel a lot, have smaller hands, or are just looking for a smaller handle on their reed making tools. It offers space savings while still providing enough handle to have a solid grip on the tool.&lt;/p&gt;

The interchangeable mandrels match our standard ones but include added benefits. Multiple handle styles with a shared vice grip insert let you use them like any other mandrel. After forming, the mandrels can be placed directly into the &lt;a class=&quot;rns_textlink&quot; href=&quot;https://www.reedsnstuff.com/en/Bassoon/Reed-Making-Supplies/Drying-Board/Drying-Board-BASE.html&quot; title=&quot;Buy&quot;&gt;wood drying board base&lt;/a&gt; – keeping the reed on the mandrel throughout for optimal control of the tube’s shape.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;You can use multiple mandrel types with a single handle, minimizing clutter.

                <pubDate>Fri, 17 Apr 2026 13:17:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://www.reedsnstuff.com/out/pictures/generated/product/1/390_255_100/1204-00029.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;&lt;section&gt;
   &lt;h1&gt;Eject&lt;/h1&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;The ejector ring for bassoon reeds is used to easily detach the reed from the mandrel after the wire has been fixed. In addition, by using an ejector ring you avoid twisting the reed when pulling it off the mandrel, which would otherwise lead to undesired blade slippage.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;Due to it&#039;s unique design, the ejector ring can be set to any desired position on the mandrel.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;The ejector ring fits on all mandrels with a maximum diameter of 6 mm, and can also be used as a depth stop on our spiral-fluted and diamond-coated reamers.&lt;br&gt;We also have a model of the &lt;a class=&quot;rns_textlink&quot; href=&quot;https://www.reedsnstuff.com/en/Bassoon/Reed-Making-Supplies/Mandrels/Ejector-Ring-oxid.html&quot; title=&quot;Ejector Ring for Contrabassoon Mandrels&quot;&gt;Ejector Ring for Contrabassoon Mandrels&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use the Ejector Ring as a depth stop, so that your reeds are always formed the same way and you do not have to remember how far above or below the line you form your reeds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item&quot;&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Turn the silver portion of the Ejector Ring to begin pushing your reed off the mandrel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using the Ejector Ring allows you to easily remove the reed without twisting the tube and causing blade slippage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;


&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item&quot;&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using the included hex key you can adjust the position of the Ejector Ring to any position on the forming mandrel you desire.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item&quot;&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Ejector Ring can also be used as a depth stop on the spiral reamer, allowing for a consistent final diameter when reaming the inside of the tube.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item&quot;&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Similarly, the Ejector Ring can be used as a depth stop on the diamond reamer, providing consistency from reed to reed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Formed from the start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our drying board with wooden plate is compatible with all &lt;b&gt;interchangeable&lt;/b&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/hgroup&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Standard&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The classic forming mandrel. The forming mandrel is 2.3 mm wide at the tip and has a two-part progression towards the back to allow the reeds to be gently opened from the inside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ideal for smaller shapes and those who prefer reeds which are less round in the area of the first two wires.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;gallery-item-caption&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;PLUS&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those who prefer a more rounded throat we have developed, together with Prof. David Petersen, the forming mandrel PLUS. The tip is 3.2 mm wide, which helps give reeds a larger and rounder throat opening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ideal for wider shapes and those who prefer a larger inner cavity in the their reeds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

   &lt;h1&gt;Wrap it tight&lt;/h1&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;Our German brass wire gives your reeds the support they need. Available in two thicknesses, on 50 g spools, in 1 kg loops, or cut to length, as well as in two hardnesses. The Standard hardness is the wire we have always stocked. To accomodate the requests of some of our customers we now also stock wire which is somewhat softer but still provides the necessary structure.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;Our packages of cut-to-length wire contain 1000 pieces of wire, cut to 80 mm, ready to use.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt; for Americans who are accustomed to purchasing wire measured in gauge, 22-gauge wire is 0.64 mm thick. You will likely find the 0.6 mm wire to be more to your liking.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;No more cracked blades&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gone are the days of inserting your forming mandrel all the way into the shaft to round the back end of your reed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Anti-Crack Mandrel allows you for form only the back of the shaft while keeping the throat flat. This prevents cracks from spreading into the blade.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This enables you to then gently open the throat of the reed only the desired amount with your &lt;a class=&quot;rns_textlink&quot; href=&quot;https://www.reedsnstuff.com/en/Bassoon/Reed-Making-Supplies/Mandrels/Forming-Mandrel.html&quot; title=&quot;Forming Mandrel&quot;&gt;forming mandrel&lt;/a&gt; of choice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ideal for smaller shapes and those who prefer reeds which are less round in the area of the first two wires.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;PLUS&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those who prefer a more rounded throat we have developed, together with Prof. David Petersen, the forming mandrel PLUS. The tip is 3.2 mm wide, which helps give reeds a larger and rounder throat opening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ideal for wider shapes and those who prefer a larger inner cavity in the their reeds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Formed from the start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our drying board with wooden plate is compatible with all &lt;b&gt;interchangeable&lt;/b&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/hgroup&gt;
&lt;section&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;NOTE&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This item contains only the wooden base plate and is &lt;u&gt;not&lt;/u&gt; compatible with our &lt;a class=&quot;rns_textlink&quot; href=&quot;https://www.reedsnstuff.com/en/Bassoon/Reed-Making-Supplies/Drying-Board/Drying-Pin.html&quot; title=&quot;Drying Pin&quot;&gt; Drying Pin&lt;/a&gt; for bassoon. All mandrels labelled as &quot;interchangeable&quot; will fit in this drying board base.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;section&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Ergonomic&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ergonomic wooden handle of our reed making tools provides&lt;br&gt;for ease of use and is made of oiled beechwood.&lt;/p&gt;
