Oboe Reeds

The reeds always arriving in perfect condition and are of good quality for my level of playing

Repeat orders

Have found ordering reeds easy every time. No problems, communication is clear and delivery is reliable. What more would anyone want. Thanks Crook & Staple

Delivery was slow… I was told that order had been despatched on Saturday 11th but it didn’t arrive until Thursday 16th!

1x medium hard, 1x medium oboe reeds

Reeds arrived promptly and the responses is satisfactory. Only minor adjustments are needed but it's really to adjust to suit my personal quirks.

Looks good so far!

We haven't used the reeds yet as we have bought them as back-ups for when the current reed breaks, but they were carefully packaged and we like the cute pencil which came with them too!

Perfect

Works well for drying the bocal. Delivered quickly. Website easy to use. Thank you

Good quality medium-hard bassoon reed

I am a good level amateur (post grade 8) playing on a good Adler Sonora bassoon, but I find that many of the reeds offered by professional players who also sell reeds are too hard for me and my instrument, even ones sold as being of medium strength. Unfortunately I don't have the training to make adjustments to such reeds so that they are playable for me. I have shopped around over the years for a brand of reed that is consistently suitable for me and eventually hit upon these. They are not entirely consistent in quality I feel, but I have purchased about 9 or 12 in recent years and have found that nearly all have been useable after a few weeks of 'breaking in'. I would definitely recommend trying these if you're looking for a more medium style of reed.

Well made reed

Very pleased with the reed. Solidly finished and exactly as described

Ordered 1 student reed and 1 medium soft. Took a while to arrive, however both reeds were good quality. Especially good on low and middle ranges.
