Bassoon Gig Bag (Case) by Tom & Will - Grey (75x25x25cm)
I found it worked at once, I did not have to scrape or adjust the wires. The sound is excellent throughout the range. High notes are reasonably easy to reach but I could not get top D. (I often have that trouble and it may be a reflection on me but I can get top D on every Legere plastic reed easily.) It is quite hard to blow so I will get tired quickly as it is. That is easily adjusted though. This one is in my bassoon case as my concert best.
The reeds I made using this cane sounded almost perfect from the get-go with minimal scraping. Will definitely buy this cane again.
I normally buy the KGE Standard reed from Crook and Staple, but due to supply chain issues, I asked to upgrade to the KGE Professional. It seems to be a free-blowing reed but I've yet to play it properly.
When I ordered the chart I was expecting something a little larger and easier to read. I also was hoping for more alternative fingering options and trill fingering. I don’t know if the description was a accurate or if I have simply expected more than I should.
These reeds work excellently for my 5 young oboe players.
Having never adjusted my own reed before this simple guide is amazing. I can now make basic adjustments to my store bought reeds to ensure they function 100% all the time.
Great reeds and always reliable. Fantastic service too
Fits nicely in my oboe case and is of high quality. Worth waiting for it to ship “across the pond” to the USA.
