The mug is a gift for my son. It seems really good quality; the bassoon design goes all the way round the mug and is eye catching and stylish. One of the best double reed gift items I have seen. It hasn't been in the diswasher yet, so cannot comment on that. I know my son will love it!
The Academy Oboe Reeds by Crook & Staple have been my daughter's favourite reeds since her 4th year learning oboe. She is now at her 9th year.
This reed water cup is awesome and is extremely convenient. I use it for clarinet and bass clarinet reeds, and, despite the reed cups' small size, it can fit both soprano and bass clarinet reeds.
Arrived promptly and all playable... and there are v few UK sources of the US style reeds that I prefer.
Easy to hold which is important for a contrabassoon mandrel.
Fabulous Reed really pleased with it, will definitely order again.
I used to use Britannia reeds as they were consistently reliable. Then I found out they are discontinued. In looking for an alternative I decided to try out Marsden bassoon reeds and although it did need breaking in, after a few weeks I am happy with my purchase.
Reeds arrived promptly, and played reasonably well. Needs a bit of work to get the sound and response I really want.
Nice-looking case. Would be helpful to have dimensions and a photo on the website listing. Tall enough to fit my baroque oboe reeds with the bottom staple attached, although I think it is designed just to hold the reeds on their own, as the spring mechanism doesn’t work so well if the reed is stored with the bottom staple on.
