[Photograph 2012.201.B1258.1053]

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma Times newspaper. Caption: "If bassoon players were unable to make reeds, they'd be out of business, in the opinion of Mrs. Betty Johnson, Oklahoma State Symphony bassoonist for 13 years. Oboe players face the same problem. "There are few bassoon players, and little demand for commercially-manufactured bassoon reeds, so we have to make our own or quit playing."
