Bassoon reed.
My approach to reed making is guided by the demands of everyday playing: a responsive attack, a stable centre to the sound and enough flexibility for expressive phrasing. The aim is a balanced reed that supports the player rather than getting in the way.

My story.
I am a professional bassoonist and reed maker from Slovenia. My passion for music and sound is at the heart of every reed I make.
Music has taken me from Ljubljana to Vienna and Zurich, where I studied bassoon, including with Giorgio Mandolesi. Along the way, I had the opportunity to play with the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester and the European Union Youth Orchestra. Today, I am principal bassoonist at the Slovene National Theatre Maribor.
Alongside my work in Maribor, I have played as a guest with the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra, the Frankfurt Opera Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Kammerorchester Basel and Musikkollegium Winterthur. Playing in different orchestras has shaped my understanding of sound, response and flexibility — qualities I also look for when making reeds.
A player's perspective.
A reed is the link between the musician and the instrument. Making reeds is a process of small adjustments and careful listening. My goal is to bring that same attention to every reed I make, whether it is intended for practice, rehearsal or the concert stage.
