welcome

Welcome to my website for all things bassoon, contra bassoon, bassoon reed and music related.

With the magic of the Internet and the madness of Facebook and Myspace (not to mention Twitter) I thought I would secure a small piece of cyberspace for the world of the bassoon to try and collect together useful information that has taken years to accumulate and to share it with those who are interested.

If you are interested in bassoon reeds then click here

For sound clips click on sound in the top menu which will take you off to Mypace and my Nocturne for bassoon and piano, as well as four of me playing Rimsky Korsakov. The wonders of modern technology. One day I will figure out putting sound onto this site and updating these old clips.

There is also a blog for wondrous oon related things that I come across.

And don't miss Reed Rage - the bassoon quartet the world has been waiting for! 

Pictured here is my pre-war Mollenhauer bassoon. I now play a 13000 series Heckel (as seen on the contact page) and a 25 year old Mollenhauer contra bassoon.

Best wishes,

Tom Hardy
