Product Description

Some of the problems that this book covers are:

Some of the screws on my oboe keep mysteriously undoing themselves.̴Ì_ What can I do about it?
I can only get a sort of high C# and nothing else. What's wrong?
My F# is difficult to play
My pads keep sticking
I can see some of the skin covering on one of my pads has torn and is hanging down. How do I replace the pad?
I can't get bottom C only the C#
And much more...

Not useful

It’s concise yes but gives you next to nothing in the way of advices. I thought it would tell me with the adjustment screws carefully telling you how and where to adjust. It doesn’t. Also it’s written in such a way apparently intended for children because of the terminology used. There is nothing factual in it and a waste of money. I’ve been generous giving 3 stars. I’d look elsewhere. I have the one on how to care and adjust your reeds in the same series. This is more sensibly written and pictures showing you where to scrape.

Handy guide for repair

Neat little guide that takes you through essential maintenance and some emergency repairs. Keep it in my oboe case just in case!

easy to read with very useful information

Dear Lesley,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It's great to hear you love the Oboe First Aid Doctor, also a useful size to keep in instrument cases!
Best wishes,
Eliza @ Crook & Staple

a good book

A very interesting book, as the others of the series

Reeding

I'm always hesitant to touch anything on my oboe when something is not right. This is a nice guide for a player on small fixes. Thank You!!!

Very good

Very good quality and have lasted a while

Good but

Although the reed is just perfect, I would have thought the shipping would have been with a sort of holder to protect it, like for clarinet for exemple. But I am new to oboe, so I wont complain any further.

3-stars…it ain’t bad! (but it is big…)

I recently purchased the 6-bassoon/3-contrabassoon wooden reed case from Crook and Staple, and I have mixed feelings about it. First off, the case is a bit larger than I expected, but fortunately, it fits into my Pro-Tec Bassoon Case "ok" above the boot joint on the inner lid-protected storage.

One of the things I really love about this case is the ample room it provides for each reed. It’s great to have dedicated space for my reeds, ensuring they stay secure and protected. However, I did have to re-glue two of the bracing ends that hold down the contrabassoon and bassoon reed holder rods, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, I’m happy with my purchase and would suggest it to other bassoonists. Just keep in mind that this reed case is larger than expected, so plan accordingly. Also, be aware that it doesn't have a latch; it closes with magnets, which means it could fall open if left loose in a bag.

In summary, I’m giving it 3 out of 5 stars, but I would still recommend it to fellow bassoonists!

Brass staple

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...

Adjustable oboe staples

The corkless staples are helping my sound to project.

Postage which was relatively expensive was due to arrive in 2-3 working days. It only arrived ye...

A little disappointed with music bag which was quite flimsy.

Favourite to date

I've been working my way round different reeds, having decided that you probably get what you pay for with oboe reeds. To date, this is the only one that I have repeatedly come back to as they seem to settle quickly and are good across the range. As always, some are better than others but still, I have found them more consistent than other brands. To put this in context, I am
nowhere near professional level, more Grade 8 level.

Bassoon cane order

Arrived as promised carefully and safely packed! Great service!

Medir cane

Always consistent shape and curvature, with a central line for folding accurately. The hardness does vary of course - this time one out of the five pieces was almost too hard to be useable - but the rest make good reeds with very little extra scraping. Package arrived promptly from Crook and Staple.

Not the one for me

I have had 2 of these reeds. They are both easy blowers for the low notes but not as good for the high (third octave F). Having said this, I don't have a third octave key on my oboe - maybe this particular reed needs that?
