Dear Mark,
Many thanks for your kind words and taking the time to leave us a review. We hope you enjoy making those contra reeds and we look forward to having you shop with us again soon.
Very best wishes,

Superb Contra Cane
This is an excellent cane which forms well without cracking to the collar. It has been profiled with the ideal tube length for my style of reed. The hardness of the cane seems good for chamber and orchestral playing, though I might choose harder cane for exposed orchestral work.
In a shipment of two reeds, one plays great (ergo the high rating) but the other is barely playable. Fortunately the good one tends to last until the following shipment.
(From the buyer's daughter who the reeds were bought for)
I love the reeds so much - they're super well made and work incredible. When I tried to work them in, I realized that they were a little too hard for the level that I'm at, but I 100% recommend them and will be buying a couple different types to see what works best for me
This was a present for my wife who is a talented bassoonist but had a very worn bassoon bag. She is very happy with her new one, and it looks great. Very happy.
The intermediate oboe reeds are resistant enough and not too noisy.
Suitable for orchestra!
