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.

Cut above the rest
Hardly had much chance to use this but so far it has cut smoothly, cleanly without any cracking or splits and squarely across the axis. Can’t ask for anything more. Reasonable price as well. Feels solid and robust.

Cor Anglais Reed
Nicest reed so far. I really enjoy playing with it.

This is quite heavily profiled cane and really only wants the tip finishing, which results in quite a soft and bright reed, though it can be darkened with wire placement/shape. I really like this cane and use it for 2nd bassoon playing as its best for quiet and/or mid to low range playing. Excellent service.
The reeds are great but the delay in receiving them due to customs demand for payment meant I did not receive the reeds for my concert despite paying extra for faster shipping
