I have a slightly longer Haworth Cor Anglais and I haven’t worked out a way to lengthen it. I also can’t work out how to add the small leather piece at the hook and there were no instructions. Despite that I am finding the strap useful and it looks durable

Alaw bassoon reed a success
Very pleased with my new Alaw reed. Good tone and controllabillity.
Pitching accurately required a bit of getting used to at first but it now behaves very well excellent sound :and responsive .

A wonderful reed!
This is a fabulous reed. After its initial soak, it has always played immediately from the case. It produces a mellow, rather than a bright, sound - and that is my preference. The low notes are as easy to play (even quietly) as I have ever experienced in a reed. I will definitely be buying this reed again.

Good.
C&S "professional" reeds are not usually available so I bought this Argento six months ago. I liked it better than Alaw and Urbach, in fact it was so good I just bought another. The new one is every bit as good. No adjustment was needed, it worked well immediately.

So relieved to find a reed that works for me. Fairly free blowing but with good depth of tone and stability. Good to go straight from the box. Perfect for me right now. Praying they remain consistent with their production. Very happy so far. Have bought several. Happy days.

Premium Bassoon Seat Strap, with Boot Cup (Leather) Roger N.
Good seat strap for Bassoon
Been using my own home made for years, wanted an upgrade. This does the job, nice quality, good fit, and certainly eases left hand pressure. Two issues I have found is it does come away quite easily, would prefer to be able to tighten it a bit more than the velcro will allow.
It doesn't fit in the case very well?
reeds were no good at all. far too hard. even our oboe teacher couldn't get a tune out of them. He even tried making them thiner. waste of money unfortunately.
I thought I'd try a different brand from my usual as I'm finding the reeds I usually buy not very reliable. I'm a self-taught hobby player and the intricacies of reed making and altering are beyond my understanding at the moment. I took a chance and this reed is playing in very well for me.
Having bought direct from Walter Urbach in the late 80s early 90s i know these reeds well. Great tone in all registers. Would always expect to tweak it a little.
