[edit] History
The British Double Reed Society (BDRS) was founded in 1988 to promote and enhance the interests of all double reed players, whether students, amateurs, professionals or teachers. Thanks to the efforts of the prime movers, George Caird and William Waterhouse, the BDRS has flourished and continues to grow, offering a widening range of valued services to its members as well as providing a forum for the interchange of expertise, knowledge and opinion on all matters relating to double reed instruments.
The BDRS is a registered charity, number 1080461, in the United Kingdom.
