Reed Project

The Reed Project was first created by Terry B. Ewell and then hosted by the International Double Reed Society (IDRS) around 1999. In addition to the IDRS, this website was created in cooperation with Scrapes journal, a Dutch publication. Unfortunately changes in the hosting of the IDRS Website have resulted in loss of the Reed Project from the IDRS website. Here the information is restored for the benefit of the double reed community.

The research here is from a number of publications by Terry B. Ewell and colleagues. Published articles: Terry B. Ewell with Todd Goranson. “Double Reed Measurements Part 1: Bassoon Reeds,” Scrapes International 2 (December 1999): 56-64. Reprinted in The Double Reed 23/4 (2000): 57-66.
