Bassoon poetry competition

In celebration of our 10th anniversary this month, we are excited to launch an all new poetry competition for bassoonists - just write a poem about the bassoon, of any length or style, and submit via email to jacob@doublereed.co.uk.

Whoever writes the best poem will win 10 free bassoons reeds!

The deadline for submission is 17th October 2021, and there are three prizes to win:

  • 1st prize: 10 free bassoon reeds
  • 2nd prize: 5 free bassoon reeds
  • 3rd prize: 3 free bassoon reeds

The winning poems will be published on our website and on our social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).

To get your juices flowing, we have commissioned our own bassoon poem - written and illustrated by two members of staff here at Double Reed Ltd.:

The bassoon shall have new breath
