As with previous purchases, I am very happy with my Rigotti oboe easel. Service was prompt and professional.

A useful item
Having recently taken up the oboe again after a (very) long absence I thought it was about time to get a proper easel to trim the cane ends before binding. My previous easel had been the classic converted wooden clothes-peg marked with a pencil (as suggested in Evelyn Rothwell's book). However, this item is the real thing, made of smooth dark hardwood, nicely turned with a centre line and buffers at either end to stop the cane sliding off. Very simple and handy to use and quite a nice object in its own right.

Rigotti Oboe Easel - Perfect
Well turned, comfortable to use. Will accept slips of cane up to 76mm.
I bought this for my teenage son (5'9", thin build) after a school semester struggling with his new bassoon. Compared to a seat strap, this frees him up to play more comfortably, standing up. Great accessory, very good price, and quick service & shipping to Canada.
I had a stand for my first, now spare oboe which was elegant and did a lovely job. My upgrade oboe however had too small a bell to fit. So I bought one of these and it did the job. Easy to carry around and when it got stepped on and snapped I had no hesitation replacing like with like.
Thank you very much for this lovely reed which has arrived in nice time...
I'm hoping it will give me a start back into playing after a couple of decades!
Much appreciated.
I've been using the KGE Standard Oboe Reed for quite some time now. They are always reliable, require very little adjustment and are free-playing with a bright sound. Good value for what they are.
