  Everything you wanted to know about making bassoon reeds but didn't want to
                                      ask
                                        
I did not expect a half-hour video on making a bassoon reed [1] (link via
Hacker News [2] as a comment to an article about bassoon players being an
endangered species [3]). Nor did I expect a bassoon reed to be so finicky to
make.
