Rieger Brass Wire Featured The traditional “pochette” case makesThese 200g spools of wire from Rieger are a mainstay for many bassoon reedmakers. Their wire is a standard hardness and comes in 2 diameter thicknesses: . 6 or . 7mm. For those familiar with gauge, . 6mm is closer to 22 gauge but slightly thinner, while . 7mm is more similar to 21 gauge and noticeably thicker than 22 gauge. If you prefer to use 22 gauge, you will want to try the . 6mm wire first.
