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.
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.
