Professional Winfield Oboe Reed - Brass Staple

Didn’t get a chance to use it as it split when soaking. The packaging was horrific and when I tried to reach out to return and have another sent, it kept me going in loops. I wanted to try this product and I’m really disappointed in the product and company. For the price, I was hoping it would be better. Will not order from here again.

This reed was better than the first one I received. Thank you I will order again.

I will get back to you after our rehearsal....should be interesting... hopefully with this reed i will be heard over the bagpiper whos playing ....beautifully made reed...

I was delighted to receive my new oboe reeds from Crook & Staple very quickly! They were well packaged too! Thanks for your excellent service.

Extremely consistent reed quality ———one tweak of the wire and they all sing beautifully.
Most grateful !

Plays well in all registers

I'm nowhere near professional, but was introduced to metal staples years ago by my reed maker & have never looked back! I find them so free-blowing & much easier to ease in than standard cork staples. These were no exception. I tend to find them a little open, but a tweak of the wire & I'm good to go. Have converted a few other players to them over the years...

I really liked the tone from this reed, but it's length made it hard to play in tune with an ensemble.

As a new customer it is always exciting to see if the delivery meets the expectations - This one surely did! I gladly recommend Crook and Staple - and I will be a returning customer myself :+1::skin-tone-2:

Really great reed

Particularly mellow low notes

I have been impressed with this reed, as it is more free-blowing than I would have expected for a medium strength. The scrape is shorter than those I have usually purchased until now, and it’s sound is just a little less warm. It may take a little longer to get used to. I like the brass staple, and may well purchase more in the future.

Lovely playable flexible reed thankyou

My kids love these reeds as they're a bit unconventional to look at with no cork. Whats more, Crook & Staple make us feel like valued customers.

Took a little while to USA
Good reed nice tone
Little pricey but will buy again

Ordered in a hurry and delivered as promised next day. Thank you

Very pleased with the reed. Thank you.

I bought two reeds - one for myself and one for a beginner and both of them are fantastic! I have a fossati instrument and the sound from these reeds in it is just beautiful. Fast delivery and great customer service- will be using them again!

Very good product and timely delivery. Love it.

The quality of the reed was very good but it was an experiment and I'm not keen on the tone for my taste so I won't be buying another one of this type. However, the other reeds I ordered were more suitable and I'm pleased with them.

Very nice, and easy reed to practice and preform on! I recommend this reed and ill try other reeds from Crook and Staple. Amazing!

There was a delay in customs and C&S got right on it. Great products too!

Worth every cent! It plays so delightful and creates a sound other corked staple reeds don't. Highly recommended.

The tone of them can be quite tinny but eventually become beautiful and are very responsive at first play .

Excellent reed and good value , my daughter likes these alot, very good tone .thank you.

The thought of a brass staple being used over and over again sounded wonderful. In the beginning it worked well but then I found it harder and harder to fit into my oboe. Eventually I greased the staple and it now slides in easily again. My only other reservation is the 2 small black rubber rings could snap, time will tell.

Crook and Staple provide a fast, well informed and professional service. The reeds that I have purchased ( Winfield brass staple oboe reeds) have been of excellent quality and playing longevity. Will be purchasing more in the near future.

I normally use a medium for cork staples but this reed seemed far too soft, resulting in a thin tone. This could be because the brass staple makes the reed easier to play, at the cost of sound quality. Perhaps a medium hard reed would be better in this regard.

Recently returning oboist so unsure about lip - like the feel of the reed so far - on the whole positive.

Loved the brass staple, but the actual scrape on the reed was lousy, as often seems to be the case with Winfield reeds now....

I haven't had it for long but so far it's a great reed. Easy to play in all registers and dynamics. Love the Brass Staple and the fact that it can be re-reeded.
