Product Description

These reeds are of a medium strength. Staple- 47mm, length of finished reed - 72mm, U scrape.

Disappointing

Stiff and unresponsive.

Excellent reed

The reed was sent promptly and needed very little blowing in. I'm extremely satisfied and will be ordering more of these.

Very reliable reeds

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.

KGE reed

Reliable and sometimes exciting.

Great reeds

I have struggled to find reliable reeds but these are just what I was looking for. Nice tone, good across the range, no scraping or adjustment needed. Will be my regular reed now.

These reeds were soft and

These reeds were soft and I could not produce much volume. They all kept closing up despite being wired. Sound was bright and scratchy.

Very good

Very good quality and have lasted a while

Good but

Although the reed is just perfect, I would have thought the shipping would have been with a sort of holder to protect it, like for clarinet for exemple. But I am new to oboe, so I wont complain any further.

3-stars…it ain’t bad! (but it is big…)

I recently purchased the 6-bassoon/3-contrabassoon wooden reed case from Crook and Staple, and I have mixed feelings about it. First off, the case is a bit larger than I expected, but fortunately, it fits into my Pro-Tec Bassoon Case "ok" above the boot joint on the inner lid-protected storage.

One of the things I really love about this case is the ample room it provides for each reed. It’s great to have dedicated space for my reeds, ensuring they stay secure and protected. However, I did have to re-glue two of the bracing ends that hold down the contrabassoon and bassoon reed holder rods, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, I’m happy with my purchase and would suggest it to other bassoonists. Just keep in mind that this reed case is larger than expected, so plan accordingly. Also, be aware that it doesn't have a latch; it closes with magnets, which means it could fall open if left loose in a bag.

In summary, I’m giving it 3 out of 5 stars, but I would still recommend it to fellow bassoonists!

Brass staple

I will get back to you after our rehearsal....should be interesting... hopefully with this reed i will be heard over the bagpiper whos playing ....beautifully made reed...

Adjustable oboe staples

The corkless staples are helping my sound to project.

Postage which was relatively expensive was due to arrive in 2-3 working days. It only arrived ye...

A little disappointed with music bag which was quite flimsy.

Favourite to date

I've been working my way round different reeds, having decided that you probably get what you pay for with oboe reeds. To date, this is the only one that I have repeatedly come back to as they seem to settle quickly and are good across the range. As always, some are better than others but still, I have found them more consistent than other brands. To put this in context, I am
nowhere near professional level, more Grade 8 level.

Bassoon cane order

Arrived as promised carefully and safely packed! Great service!

Medir cane

Always consistent shape and curvature, with a central line for folding accurately. The hardness does vary of course - this time one out of the five pieces was almost too hard to be useable - but the rest make good reeds with very little extra scraping. Package arrived promptly from Crook and Staple.

Not the one for me

I have had 2 of these reeds. They are both easy blowers for the low notes but not as good for the high (third octave F). Having said this, I don't have a third octave key on my oboe - maybe this particular reed needs that?
