Chiarugi's Brass Oboe Straples are drawn from a full bar of brass and then they are completely turned outside and inside using high precision machinery and automated systems. This ensures an excellent quality oboe staple which is always consistent. 2/3 of the oboe staple is covered with high quality cork from Portugal. Each staple is finished and checked manually by highly experienced personnel.
My first time buying Argento. Normally buy Marsden but they have been out of stock for a long time and delays when buying direct also. Argento had great reviews. Ordered two reeds - came in bright blue thread not the usual dark. One reed was fine after a bit of scraping. The other reed wasn't immediately playable so will keep forgetting emergency and scrape it at a later date.
Bought these instead of the C&S Pro which are out of stock. Was recommended them as a good substitute. They certainly are. Thanks very much. Looking forward to playing the finale of Tchaik Pathetique on it (2nd bassoon).
Very pleased with the service and the slight resistance of the reed. Chose this reed because as a beginner returning after many years away a previous review noted satisfaction as a beginner with a Fox Reynard and that’s my bassoon.
Hardly had much chance to use this but so far it has cut smoothly, cleanly without any cracking or splits and squarely across the axis. Can’t ask for anything more. Reasonable price as well. Feels solid and robust.

I compared this with several reeds of a comparable price: it plays straight from unpacking with a clear tone. I'll be ordering more!

I ordered over the Easter holidays and expected a delay but it arrived quickly and is perfect for the job. Thankyou.
