I don't know. He only identifies the solid version of each symbol,

is typical throughout the book. Since the book is 1966 (DE) 1972 (EN),
I'd
imagine things might have been clarified since.

Speaking as a bassoonist, I can assure you that any notation you use
will be unfamiliar, and so *must* be accompanied with a verbal
instruction such as "reed only" or the like. As a composer, I would use
X-shaped noteheads, add the instruction "with reed only", and place the
notes on the middle line of the staff. On any subsequent recurrences, I
would shorten the instruction just to "reed." If I wanted the buzz to
vary in pitch, I would eliminate the staff lines and place the various
(X-shaped) noteheads at higher or lower levels within the blank space.
I would use this same notation for the oboe, and for clarinet/sax/brass
mouthpiece played alone (except of course that the instruction would be
"mouthpiece alone").
