Once I had managed to get the hook through the hole (it took a while), everything thing was perfect. A nice quality strap which did exactly what it's intended to do (and allowed me more movement than my spike).
Sending off for any reed is always a lottery! Gone are the days of try before you buy - so I was pleasantly surprised when one of the reeds was very playable and made a pretty good sound! The other was a bit free for me - but it may be good for Mahler or Shostakovich mega blow! Will definitley buy from here again and perhaps try harder reeds for a richer sound.
Light yet sturdy. I have just purchased the carbon fibre bassoon stand and am happy with it. The back rest and foot stand do not fit inside my wiseman case but that’s a small price to pay for such an easy to transport and use stand.
The most consistently reliable reed "out of the box" that I have experienced with a good, easy sound and just the right amount of resistance. I can’t see me ever giving a reed 5 stars though, just because!
Well it’s certainly light and seems sturdy enough. It didn’t come with any instructions so it took me a while to work out how to put it together. Also be warned that it took 4 months to arrive from ordering it, but so far I’m very happy with it.
