Description:Spratt Heckel blank without notches under the wrapping, profiled on Reed Du-all, one corner came out too thin. Tube was too wide, reed too flat at first, but was shrunk with nylon on 18d nail. Was too stiff and stuffy, not free enough in low register. I tried to play the Viotti violin concerto on it at Tanglewood but it was too balky so I changed to LM.
Maker:Spratt
Reference:Richard Plaster
Instrument:Bassoon
