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.

New Cor reed
Just received my latest Cor Anglais reed from you..so far it is great to play on though I haven't really played it in yet. It arrived very promptly, so delighted with your excellent service as always.

Great cane for the right purpose
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
Although very pleased with the quality of your reed, I was not happy at having to pay 13 euros in customs charges to my local post office. Maybe you can find a way around this.
