Ordered 1 student reed and 1 medium soft. Took a while to arrive, however both reeds were good quality. Especially good on low and middle ranges.
I've been using it for about a month now and I'm quite happy with it. My few criticisms are: It sometimes slips a little due to pressure (when assembling and disassembling the instrument), so it requires some attention. It would also have been nice to include a properly sized screwdriver for easy installation and adjustment.
Both swabs work much better than the (40 year old!) ones that came with my Puchner.
Good quality reeds, consistent medium hardness. They play in fairly quickly.
I ordered "Abracadabra Oboe" (instruction book), which was to have come with 2 CDs. However, I received the version without CDs with instructions for downloading the tracks. I emailed Crook and Stable about this discrepancy but received no reply. I'm quite disappointed in the lack of response.
it is a PERFECT size for gsp cane and very sturdy for scoring and marking up cane! would definitely recommend
Great thread and the perfect thickness for wrapping bassoon reeds. A lovely bright red that looked the same on-line as it did when it arrived.
