My new 'go to' seller
As with previous purchases, I am very happy with my Rigotti oboe easel. Service was prompt and professional.

A useful item
Having recently taken up the oboe again after a (very) long absence I thought it was about time to get a proper easel to trim the cane ends before binding. My previous easel had been the classic converted wooden clothes-peg marked with a pencil (as suggested in Evelyn Rothwell's book). However, this item is the real thing, made of smooth dark hardwood, nicely turned with a centre line and buffers at either end to stop the cane sliding off. Very simple and handy to use and quite a nice object in its own right.

Rigotti Oboe Easel - Perfect
Well turned, comfortable to use. Will accept slips of cane up to 76mm.
I ordered "Abracadabra Oboe" (instruction book), which was to have come with 2 CDs. However, I received the version without CDs with instructions for downloading the tracks. I emailed Crook and Stable about this discrepancy but received no reply. I'm quite disappointed in the lack of response.
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).
