This is quite heavily profiled cane and really only wants the tip finishing, which results in quite a soft and bright reed, though it can be darkened with wire placement/shape. I really like this cane and use it for 2nd bassoon playing as its best for quiet and/or mid to low range playing. Excellent service.
Always have excellent service. Reeds are exactly what I want. Helpful customer service
The reeds are great but the delay in receiving them due to customs demand for payment meant I did not receive the reeds for my concert despite paying extra for faster shipping
This cane seems pretty good and consistent. I'm happier with it than some others I've tried.
A great reed that is easy to play and sounds great. I definitely recommend it.
Securely packaged. Swiftly delivered. Well-made and consistent.
Although very pleased with the quality of your reed, I was not happy at having to pay 13 euros in customs charges to my local post office. Maybe you can find a way around this.
Both Handel and metal are really good quality and perfect for making reeds
Good stable reed, robust sound.
