While it would be nice to be able to assume that if a musician plays one double reed instrument, he would play all double reed instruments, this is, unfortunately, not always the case. The musicians listed below will have a link to another double reed (e.g. English Horn or Bassoon) if that musician does, in fact, play that other instrument. NOTE: as I have yet to have need of a Heckelphone player, that instrument does not appear in my database, nor do I know if any of the musicians listed can actually play that instrument. You should ask for verification from the individual musicians.
The people listed below are people with whom I have worked or been exposed to at some time in my past. They are persons I would consider using for shows, operas or gigs I am conducting. Of course, the higher the level, the more that is expected of them, but also the more they expect to be paid; you get what you pay for. I make no guarantees on any of them, I just know how they performed for me or requested to be listed. For definitions of the various levels, CLICK HERE.
