Allowing reeds to dry on the forming mandrel gives them the desired shape on the inside, and bakes this shape into the reed from the beginning. This minimizes the amount of work needed to form the reed throat with pliers after clipping the tip.
Our new drying board with wooden base is available with and without fixing points. These allow you to secure the drying board to your work surface.
The board and mandrels can also be ordered individually to create your own unique combination.
The drying boards are shipped such that the mandrels and pins are removable.
NOTE
This item contains only the wooden base plate and is not compatible with our Drying Pin for bassoon. You will find the matching mandrels in the list below.
