The mug is a gift for my son. It seems really good quality; the bassoon design goes all the way round the mug and is eye catching and stylish. One of the best double reed gift items I have seen. It hasn't been in the diswasher yet, so cannot comment on that. I know my son will love it!
This reed water cup is awesome and is extremely convenient. I use it for clarinet and bass clarinet reeds, and, despite the reed cups' small size, it can fit both soprano and bass clarinet reeds.
I used to use Britannia reeds as they were consistently reliable. Then I found out they are discontinued. In looking for an alternative I decided to try out Marsden bassoon reeds and although it did need breaking in, after a few weeks I am happy with my purchase.
Reeds were poor quality and I sent a message explaining that and never heard back.
In the past the reeds I got were good. The last most recent purchase of three reeds all resulted in poor quality reeds. Very disappointed. I sent an email to explain I was unhappy and never got a response so am surprised to receive a feedback email!
