British Double Reed Society

A charitable organisation established to further the interests of all involved with the oboe and bassoon.

The British Double Reed Society (BDRS) serves as a national platform for the exchange of ideas, information, and advice on all aspects of double reed instruments. We play a vital role in promoting these instruments and ensuring their presence in the broader cultural and educational landscape.

Our society organises a variety of exciting events for double reed enthusiasts, providing a wealth of resources for oboists and bassoonists of all ages and skill levels—whether amateur or professional.

We are dedicated to supporting the double reed community. Get in touch with us to find out how we can assist you!

Members also enjoy concessionary rates for all our events, as well as some extra events we support, and receive our magazine, Double Reed News.
