Product Description

A sharp durable bladed knife. Due to its ability to fold back into itself it is very easy to carry around in your case, enabling you to make quick adjustments to your reeds wherever you may be!

Ceramic blades are known to be nearly double the mineral hardness of normal steel which allows them to be honed to a very long lasting extra sharp edge. If you wish to sharpen your ceramic blade please use our very reasonably priced diamond sharpening stones (normal sharpening stones won't sharpen the blade and will in fact just wear away the stone!!) which you can find here.

Handle colour may vary.

Please note that ceramic blades are extremely hard and sharp and will stay sharp for a very long time, however, they are also brittle, meaning that if the ceramic blade experiences a hard impact (i.e. dropping the blade onto a hard floor, hitting it with a hammer, etc.) it may shatter.

very lightweight

Very sharp blade this is a great knife to keep in you case. The only downside is being so lightweight can take a lot of getting use do when scraping if like me you are bit more heavy-handed and used to a knife with a more solid handle

Not sharp enough to scrape

Not sharp enough to scrape properly

Very good tool for reeds.

Very good tool for reeds. I am happy with my purchase.

The handle does not click

The handle does not click open and in order to use at all you have to hold the blade. Not good design. Too cheap.

Dear Robin, I'm sorry to hear you don't like the Ceramic Reed knife. You are correct that the blade doesn't click into place when it is open however this shouldn't be a problem as when scraping reeds the pressure you are using to scrape the reeds easily holds the blade open - we use these knives and find that they work for our needs; we've never had a problem due to a lack of the blade locking open. If we did not believe they were suitable for the job we would not sell them. These knives are on the cheaper end of the scale and are the cheapest we sell but we do have a wide variety of other knives which you may find more suitable for your needs. Very best wishes, Matthew

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?
