It was most recently repeated there at the 1991 IDRS Conference. In addi-tion to including some of the earliest known recordings of the bassoon, and solos by such notable players asOubradous, Brooke, Weiss, and Kohon, Mr. Rooney has assembled a diverse collection of recordings of several im-portant orchestral solos, performed by the principals of many US and European orchestras, that highlights the devel-opment of contemporary styles of bassoon playing.

Dennis Rooney is a freelance audio producer, broadcaster and writer on musicalsubjects who resides in New York. A record collector for over four decades, hispersonal collection to a great extent documents the evolution of instrumental andorchestral performance in this century.

Daryl Caswell “Living with the Edge: An Engineering Look at Sharpening”

Producing and maintaining a sharp, consistent scraping edge is the curse of every double reed player. The knifemust take on an extremely fine and consistent scraping edge which must stand up to very abrasive scraping. Thesedemands require the opposing conditions of hardness and flexibility in the steel. In addition, each player has his orher own methods for preparing the edge and scraping the reed. This talk will consist of an overview of the technicaland metallurgical requirements for a reed knife in order to clarify the variables which the reed maker can control(e.g., knife geometry, scraping angles, honing angles and methods, etc.). Mr. Caswell will address a variety ofsharpening practices and myths which may or may not contribute to the fineness, strength and consistency of theburr. In addition, he will share a method of sharpening knives developed for the Landwell reed knife. This methodproduces a fine scraping edge in minutes with a minimum of effort and a maximum of consistency.

Daryl Caswel l i s both a profess ional French horn player and a mechanical engineer . Since leaving the Calgary Phi lharmonicOrchestra, he has made a career of solving musicians’ technical problems. His research projects include sound reflectors to rem-edy acoustical problems in concert halls, bell plates which approximate the sound of large church bells, and the Landwell ReedKnife. Much of his research has been carried out in the engineering department at the University of Calgary where he currently ispursu ing a PhD. His accompl ishments have been recognized wi th nat ional and in ternat ional awards . He cont inues to performand teach in order to maintain contact with professional musicians and their technical needs.

Wendal S. Jones “Profiling Cane by Computer”

Ferguson Hall Room 225

This clinic will illustrate how cane can be profiled using a computer driven profiling machine. Those attending thesession can learn how such a machine may be programmed to profile oboe, bassoon, English horn, or contra-bassooncane. Inasmuch as this kind of hardware is much larger than the well-known table-top profiling machines used bymany double reed players, the session will center around a visual presentation filmed on location. A basic dis-cussion of the principles of automation and motion control relating specifically to woodwind reed manufacture willbe included as well as some attention to the way special computer programs are created to control the machinery.
