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.

Good stable reed, robust sound.
Alaw Bassoon Reed

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.
