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.
This magnetic pencil holder is really great. It will sit under the lip of the music stand so it stays out of the way when turning pages or moving music. The magnet could be slightly stronger as it does move quite freely if knocked or bumped but on balance I have found it to be an extremely useful addition to my music accessories. It releases the pencil with a light press of the springs and fits easily into my accessory pouch I carry when out and about. I am very pleased with this purchase.
Had to email & chase up, arrived after 5 weeks. Difficult to attach to Bassoon. Needed tool to adjust, only came with a spare nut no tool provided. Would not take the weight when standing but ok when sitting. It also came with a free pencil.
My son was very happy with his new reed. This was the first time we ordered these reeds. He said they were soft but flexible and responded well both in the lowest and high registers.
