First experience with a fibre Oboe reed: excellent reed for students; nice reed for practicing. The sound is a bit distorted. The sound is better at the tip. I am wondering how shaving the reed would affect the sound.

I love Charles Double Reed reeds! And I’ve been a customer since 2015. Many thanks for your expertise with bassoon. Will be sending my Fox 240 to you soon. Thanks!

My bassoon had damage that left a chunk of wood missing from the wing joint. Brian got me in super quickly for a repair, and after the filling dried over a few days, I literally cannot even tell that the instrument had ever been damaged. He did fantastic work!
