Style SP (Stephen Paulson) color - red, black and white
Working closely with Stephen Paulson, principal bassoonist of the San Francisco Symphony, I designed this reed style to meet the demands of the principal player, specifically, to keep the pitch higher in the tenor range of the bassoon while maintaining resonance and response throughout the range. The shape is a Mechler type, the profile slightly thicker than my style A, wire placements like the A, and tip profile template #6 from my tip profiler by Giorgio Versiglia. The tip of this reed is narrower than any of my previous reed shapes.
The new Style SP (Stephen Paulson) reed, listed last on this page, is made with a shape similar to Hindell HG, a concave Mechler type shape. The tip is narrower than my other reeds and profile a little thicker but I use softer cane to insure response. It is designed to have higher pitch in the range around middle C. It has a brilliant, lively sound.
