International Double Reed Society

The International Double Reed Society (IDRS), is an organization that promotes the interests of double reed players, instrument manufacturers and enthusiasts.{{cite web | access-date = 2006-08-28}} Services provided by the IDRS include an international oboe and bassoon competition, an annual conference, a member directory, a library, information about grants, and publications, such as the society's own journal, The Double Reed.

The IDRS Fernand Gillet-Hugo Fox International Competition for oboists and bassoonists takes place every year during the society's annual conference.

History

The IDRS grew out of a 1969 newsletter for bassoonists compiled by Gerald Corey.{{cite web |access-date=2006-11-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060912163903/http://idrs.colorado.edu/publications/TWBassoonist/TWB.Directory.1 |archive-date=2006-09-12 |url-status=dead

The IDRS has been affectionately nicknamed the "International Double Nerd Society", likely because the oboe is particularly difficult and awkward to play, per IDRS administrative director Frank Swann.
