Double reeds
The double-reed
family.
The atelier produces the full double-reed range: oboes, English horns, bassoons, and contrabassoons. Few contemporary makers undertake the contrabassoon at conservatoire-and-pro tier; the instrument is rare, slow to build, and unforgiving of compromise.
Atelier builds run on bench-built schedules. For principal-tier configuration discussions and lead-time coordination, the Concierge is the right channel.
