Great buy for the newbie to Reed scraping/ adjustment.
As a ‘newbie’ to adjusting/ repairing this convex ebony oboe plaque was a great, inexpensive purchase.
It really does support the reed, is very forgiving when scraping and is quite reassuring working with the reed. For me, a bargain buy as I’ve successfully improved reeds without splitting them and I put this down to using this plaque.

Excellent service and a very good convex oboe plaque.
So relieved to find a reed that works for me. Fairly free blowing but with good depth of tone and stability. Good to go straight from the box. Perfect for me right now. Praying they remain consistent with their production. Very happy so far. Have bought several. Happy days.

Good seat strap for Bassoon
Been using my own home made for years, wanted an upgrade. This does the job, nice quality, good fit, and certainly eases left hand pressure. Two issues I have found is it does come away quite easily, would prefer to be able to tighten it a bit more than the velcro will allow.
It doesn't fit in the case very well?
reeds were no good at all. far too hard. even our oboe teacher couldn't get a tune out of them. He even tried making them thiner. waste of money unfortunately.
I thought I'd try a different brand from my usual as I'm finding the reeds I usually buy not very reliable. I'm a self-taught hobby player and the intricacies of reed making and altering are beyond my understanding at the moment. I took a chance and this reed is playing in very well for me.
Having bought direct from Walter Urbach in the late 80s early 90s i know these reeds well. Great tone in all registers. Would always expect to tweak it a little.
Looks good on the screen but much small than anticipated. Oboe reeds are 71-73mm which is at the end of the callipers range; at which point it's starting to fall apart. The engraved measurements are difficult to reed (sic). Nice piece of brass, though.
Very pleased with these, not too resistent or hard but also not too reedy/easy, just right for me with a good tone on a loree cor.
