The development process of bassoon covers approximately 400 years until today. Although this process is seenas a structural development process of the instrument, it is a process in which the acoustic properties of theinstrument progress depending on the techniques of reed making. Researches on the development of theinstrument have generally revealed the structural and pedagogical aspects of the instrument; on the other hand,reed making has constituted only a small part of these researches. The fact that such an important piece thatcreates the vibration of the instrument stayed in the background in this process, has brought many problems upto now. Researches on the production of bassoon reed are generally on the scraping of the cane and creating theappropriate vibration. In this study, the structural features of the cane, which emerge as an important deficiencyin bassoon reed-making, and the factors affecting the quality of bassoon reed have been investigated. The densityand hardness values of the cane are among the most important factors determining the quality of the bassoonreed. These factors may vary depending on the climate in which the plant is grown, soil, irrigation, fertilization,age of the harvested plant and harvest time. For this reason, before the bassoon reed is made, it is necessary toexamine the material and to make the instrument by sticking to the resulting data.
