Both reeds great

Student reeds

So far I am finding the reeds good. I am elderly so cannot manage a hard reed so it is useful to be able to get a softer one. I'll see how they last.

Not the one for me

This reed is very responsive and easy to play, definitely on the soft side of medium. For me though, I find the tone a bit on the thin side. A friend has tried the reed with the same result..

Quality product

This is my go-to choice of wire. A good balance of flexibility/strength.

Beautiful reeds

I have used Urbach reeds for 50 years and I love them . The cane is far superior to other makes . Usually come ready to blow , just slight wire adjustment.

Excellent, stable reeds

These reeds are well made and playable straight out of the box. Good attack at the bottom but also maintaining a good tone in the tenor register.

Disappointed product

Didn’t get a chance to use it as it split when soaking. The packaging was horrific and when I tried to reach out to return and have another sent, it kept me going in loops. I wanted to try this product and I’m really disappointed in the product and company. For the price, I was hoping it would be better. Will not order from here again.

Great reed.

The Alaw Reed played great straight out of the package. Good tone and the low notes popped out fantastically and easily. Upper register played well with good pitch.

Work well

Diamond stones work well to keep my reed knife sharp.

Alaw bassoon reed a success

Very pleased with my new Alaw reed. Good tone and controllabillity.
Pitching accurately required a bit of getting used to at first but it now behaves very well excellent sound :and responsive .
