Reed plays well, but is at least 6mm longer than my normal reeds, so is half a tone flat. Will have to try shortening and re-scraping.

Ok reeds for the money
One reed was really good and one was OKish. Reeds are always a bit hit and miss!

cor reeds
excellent responsive cor reeds received promptly. Medium hardness allowed me to apply final scrape to my personal taste. All good.

New Cor reed
Just received my latest Cor Anglais reed from you..so far it is great to play on though I haven't really played it in yet. It arrived very promptly, so delighted with your excellent service as always.
Although very pleased with the quality of your reed, I was not happy at having to pay 13 euros in customs charges to my local post office. Maybe you can find a way around this.
I love these cor reeds! Would highly recommmend, very reliable.
I really like using Crook & Staple for reeds and accessories, another batch of great cor reads which work brilliantly without tweaking! Very reliable when playing and rich tone. The wooden cor reed case I got last year is definitely the best case by far (and I've tried a few), reeds fit securely without risk of bashing edges etc
I found the placement for the order easy to use on the website, quick and efficient order confirmation. I was happy with the speed of the arrival and the items were well packaged and secured. The reeds were for my daughter who only started using one if them yesterday. She mentioned the sound was good and she anticipates it will improve as she continues to play her bassoon. Thank you for your great service.
Have tried it a couple of times. Appears to do exactly what it claims - is very comfortable, easy to assemble and takes some of the strain off my thumb, hand and wrist, without getting in the way.
I was recommended these reeds and they haven’t disappointed. Lovely tone and great in the lower range. Looking forward to seeing how they progress and settle in.
