Formed from the start

Allowing reeds to dry on the forming mandrel gives them the desired shape on the inside while also reducing the effort required to form the reed waist with pliers.

Our drying board with wooden plate is compatible with all interchangeable oboe and bassoon mandrels from our range. Thanks to its thoughtful design, the mandrels can be replaced at any time without compromising stability. For maximum flexibility, the base plate and mandrels can be ordered separately, allowing you to create your own custom combination. The wooden plate is available with or without securing points, which allow the drying board to be safely mounted at your workstation.

NOTE

This item contains only the wooden base plate and is not compatible with our Drying Pin for bassoon. All mandrels labelled as "interchangeable" will fit in this drying board base.

Our Forming Mandrels

- Standard
  
  The classic forming mandrel. The forming mandrel is 2.3 mm wide at the tip and has a two-part progression towards the back to allow the reeds to be gently opened from the inside.
  
  Ideal for smaller shapes and those who prefer reeds which are less round in the area of the first two wires.
- PLUS
  
  For those who prefer a more rounded throat we have developed, together with Prof. David Petersen, the forming mandrel PLUS. The tip is 3.2 mm wide, which helps give reeds a larger and rounder throat opening.
  
  Ideal for wider shapes and those who prefer a larger inner cavity in the their reeds.

Elegantly flexible

Our modular mandrel system offers full flexibility with an elegant, space-saving design. The interchangeable mandrels match our standard ones but include added benefits. Multiple handle styles with a shared vice grip insert let you use them like any other mandrel. After forming, the mandrels can be placed directly into the wood drying board base – keeping the reed on the mandrel throughout for optimal control of the tube’s shape.

You can use multiple mandrel types with a single handle, minimizing clutter. Our ejector ring is fully compatible—simply attach it, and slide it off either end once the mandrel is removed from the handle.

Our modular mandrel system now also includes our reamers.
