The corkless staples are helping my sound to project.
A little disappointed with music bag which was quite flimsy.
I've been working my way round different reeds, having decided that you probably get what you pay for with oboe reeds. To date, this is the only one that I have repeatedly come back to as they seem to settle quickly and are good across the range. As always, some are better than others but still, I have found them more consistent than other brands. To put this in context, I am
nowhere near professional level, more Grade 8 level.
Arrived as promised carefully and safely packed! Great service!
Always consistent shape and curvature, with a central line for folding accurately. The hardness does vary of course - this time one out of the five pieces was almost too hard to be useable - but the rest make good reeds with very little extra scraping. Package arrived promptly from Crook and Staple.
I have had 2 of these reeds. They are both easy blowers for the low notes but not as good for the high (third octave F). Having said this, I don't have a third octave key on my oboe - maybe this particular reed needs that?
As a ‘newbie’ to adjusting/ repairing this convex ebony oboe plaque was a great, inexpensive purchase.
It really does support the reed, is very forgiving when scraping and is quite reassuring working with the reed. For me, a bargain buy as I’ve successfully improved reeds without splitting them and I put this down to using this plaque.
The reed place beautifully but it is loose and I’ve emailed to ask about this and tried to ring but no luck speaking to anyone or haven’t had a reply to my email so I feel a bit disappointed
Hi Claire, unfortunately, these reeds only come in one size, so if the bore is not an exact match for the diameter, they may not be suitable. All the best
