Professional Cor Anglais Reed by Crook & Staple

This. Cor Anglais Reed played with a good tone and intonation across the range .
It just needed a light overall scrape .

I would recommend it .

The classical oboe reeds were made with modern brass staples fitted with O-rings rather than the traditional thread wrapping. Consequently the staples did not fit the instrument and there was no way to adjust the width. I must confess I should have done more research before purchasing.

Excellent free-blowing reeds with a lovely tone.

Great service. Good choice of reeds. All came as described and fast easy delivery. Would definitely recommend!

I found them difficult to get low notes with without lengthening the scrape about 1-2 mm and taking more wood off the back area right up to but not including the tip. This did not collapse the reed and it remained stable perhaps because of the smaller arc and tough bark.

Good. Virtually ready to play :+1::smile:

This reed sounded warm with little knife adjustment. It was in tune straight away I was very impressed as I am with all your reeds. Problem is I broke it at my first rehearsal lol so I will reorder from you again.

First order of Professional Cor Anglais reeds from Crook and Staple. Very pleased with the tone it gives across the full range. Good quality cane.
I am now going to order some oboe reeds from them.

Sounded lovely, just a bit hard and so needed to be adjusted a fair bit. Sounds beautiful on my Lorée Cor!

Was playing in a pit for a youth production and this reed got me through Sweeney Todd. Sounded better & better as it got played in
