Ariel Detwiler is a teacher, bassoonist, and reed maker located in Minneapolis, MN. Her website offers tons of helpful resources for bassoonists and an online store selling her reeds, the SUPER popular Blackwing Bassoon Pencil, and greeting cards!
These reed cases are 3D printed and hand-assembled. It's an excellent price point AND product! I actually own THREE of these! You can purchase from MrBassoon's Etsy shop or from other double reed vendors.
