I’ve had a number of Winfield Continental reeds now from Crook & Staple. I have always found the reeds to play well, produce a good sound and tone. There is sometimes a difference in the hardness of the scrape which can take some reeds longer to be playable. I will continue to buy these reeds
I bought this for my teenage son (5'9", thin build) after a school semester struggling with his new bassoon. Compared to a seat strap, this frees him up to play more comfortably, standing up. Great accessory, very good price, and quick service & shipping to Canada.
I had a stand for my first, now spare oboe which was elegant and did a lovely job. My upgrade oboe however had too small a bell to fit. So I bought one of these and it did the job. Easy to carry around and when it got stepped on and snapped I had no hesitation replacing like with like.
