Many bassoonists prefer the mandrel pins in their reed case to help the reed maintain its rounded tube.

Shipping tubes are not intended to be used as reed cases.  Every bassoonist needs a reed case for proper protection and storage of their reeds. 

Though these cases are vented, I always recommend that my students take their reed cases out of their bassoon case every night.  I also suggest they open the reed case and leave it on their bureau so that the reeds can dry properly.  Allowing the reeds to dry in this manner, and rotating the use of reeds, will greatly increase their life.

These reed cases are my favorite. I have used the professional cases for several years with great success. The Bonazza professional cases are wood box construction covered with real leather.  The student case is plastic and I have added vent holes.
