Both swabs work much better than the (40 year old!) ones that came with my Puchner.
Good quality reeds, consistent medium hardness. They play in fairly quickly.
it is a PERFECT size for gsp cane and very sturdy for scoring and marking up cane! would definitely recommend
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.
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).
I compared this with several reeds of a comparable price: it plays straight from unpacking with a clear tone. I'll be ordering more!
