My first time buying Argento. Normally buy Marsden but they have been out of stock for a long time and delays when buying direct also. Argento had great reviews. Ordered two reeds - came in bright blue thread not the usual dark. One reed was fine after a bit of scraping. The other reed wasn't immediately playable so will keep forgetting emergency and scrape it at a later date.
Bought these instead of the C&S Pro which are out of stock. Was recommended them as a good substitute. They certainly are. Thanks very much. Looking forward to playing the finale of Tchaik Pathetique on it (2nd bassoon).
Very pleased with the service and the slight resistance of the reed. Chose this reed because as a beginner returning after many years away a previous review noted satisfaction as a beginner with a Fox Reynard and that’s my bassoon.
Hardly had much chance to use this but so far it has cut smoothly, cleanly without any cracking or splits and squarely across the axis. Can’t ask for anything more. Reasonable price as well. Feels solid and robust.
it is a PERFECT size for gsp cane and very sturdy for scoring and marking up cane! would definitely recommend

Bassoon Reed Wrapping Thread
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.
