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,
Eliza @ Crook & Staple

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.

Great micrometer, fast delivery
Easy to use and accurate. Has a nifty and well-made storage box, that doubles as a stand.
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.
