Product Description

A sharp durable bladed knife. Due to its ability to fold back into itself it is very easy to carry around in your case, enabling you to make quick adjustments to your reeds wherever you may be!

Ceramic blades are known to be nearly double the mineral hardness of normal steel which allows them to be honed to a very long lasting extra sharp edge. If you wish to sharpen your ceramic blade please use our very reasonably priced diamond sharpening stones (normal sharpening stones won't sharpen the blade and will in fact just wear away the stone!!) which you can find here.

Handle colour may vary.

Please note that ceramic blades are extremely hard and sharp and will stay sharp for a very long time, however, they are also brittle, meaning that if the ceramic blade experiences a hard impact (i.e. dropping the blade onto a hard floor, hitting it with a hammer, etc.) it may shatter.

very lightweight

Very sharp blade this is a great knife to keep in you case. The only downside is being so lightweight can take a lot of getting use do when scraping if like me you are bit more heavy-handed and used to a knife with a more solid handle

Not sharp enough to scrape

Not sharp enough to scrape properly

Very good tool for reeds.

Very good tool for reeds. I am happy with my purchase.

The handle does not click

The handle does not click open and in order to use at all you have to hold the blade. Not good design. Too cheap.

Dear Robin, I'm sorry to hear you don't like the Ceramic Reed knife. You are correct that the blade doesn't click into place when it is open however this shouldn't be a problem as when scraping reeds the pressure you are using to scrape the reeds easily holds the blade open - we use these knives and find that they work for our needs; we've never had a problem due to a lack of the blade locking open. If we did not believe they were suitable for the job we would not sell them. These knives are on the cheaper end of the scale and are the cheapest we sell but we do have a wide variety of other knives which you may find more suitable for your needs. Very best wishes, Matthew

Ok product, useless service

Reed making kit was ok, though they only supplied 5m of wire instead of the advertised 10m. Emailed them and got no response. I now have another order outstanding and overdue and they never answer the phone so i have no way of contacting them to find out what’s happening.

Lightweight and compact

Excellent contrabassoon stand! Really lightweight and compact. The instructions don't make sense, but it's pretty obvious how it all fits together. The stand now lives in the pocket of my gig bag. Sent very promptly by Crook and Staple.

Marsden Bassoon Reeds

Surprisingly Free and easy to play, and very stable! Definitely will order again.

Great pencil

Great pencil, so handy having it magnetic so it's easy to find during rehearsals.

Cork Grease Stick

0 stars is more accurate

This bassoon case arrived after a longer wait than what was expected, per the website and order confirmation email. Within a week of use the strap broke. Ridiculous. Add to that the fact that I have emailed the company detailing the situation including photos of the broken strap and have not been contacted other then to say that it could be a week to 10 days or something ridiculous until I get a response. That time has since passed. Completely disgusted with this useless product!!! Don’t be duped like I was. Shop somewhere else.

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...
