Jessica Findley Yang, owner of Jiffy Reeds, will introduce the pre-college students to the life-long pursuit of perfecting the art of finishing bassoon reeds. This class will use the blanks formed in the reed forming class on Thursday January 5th and wrapped on Friday January 6th with Ariel Detweiler, but extra blanks will be available to those students who did not attend the previous classes. A Rieger tip clipper and tip profiler will be provided to assist with the initial finishing steps. All attendees will receive a handy reed adjustment tip sheet at the end of the class. Necessary tools: plaque, holding mandrel, small needle file, reed knife (optional).
