I’m an amateur player and usually a very average reed maker but this has really helped me to make reeds that are more consistent. It’s a good design which fits into a neat box that turns into a nifty stand. A good investment and v good service from C&S

Easy to use for us
Easy to use for us with oh so clumsy fingers.
Hello Mark,
These micrometers are super easy to use, we particularly like the wooden box it folds into too! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. We hope to have you shop with us again in the future.
Best Wishes,

Redesign & Rebuild required.
I had to redesign it slightly and rebuild it to get less flex in the tongue which was caused by the force of the micrometer plunger.

Quality product
This is my go-to choice of wire. A good balance of flexibility/strength.

Beautiful reeds
I have used Urbach reeds for 50 years and I love them . The cane is far superior to other makes . Usually come ready to blow , just slight wire adjustment.
This reed is very responsive and easy to play, definitely on the soft side of medium. For me though, I find the tone a bit on the thin side. A friend has tried the reed with the same result..

Didn’t get a chance to use it as it split when soaking. The packaging was horrific and when I tried to reach out to return and have another sent, it kept me going in loops. I wanted to try this product and I’m really disappointed in the product and company. For the price, I was hoping it would be better. Will not order from here again.
The Alaw Reed played great straight out of the package. Good tone and the low notes popped out fantastically and easily. Upper register played well with good pitch.
Very pleased with my new Alaw reed. Good tone and controllabillity.
Pitching accurately required a bit of getting used to at first but it now behaves very well excellent sound :and responsive .
