This diamond file is ideal for reed making and adjusting due to its unique pyramid shape. This shape has one larger flat side allowing you to make more generalistic adjustments, two smaller flat sides which allow for finer adjustments and three 'knife' edges allowing for very precise scraping / filing! read more...

Product Description

The use of diamonds means that the tool will never blunt making it very cost effective. When using this file there is little need for a knife, which means no more time spent sharpening and honing blades. All you need to do to clean the file of excess cane is to dip it in water, where any debris falls off easily and then dry it.

This reed adjusting file is 14cm long, includes a comfortable soft touch rubber handle and will fit into a tiny space for transportation when required.

As Advertised

Good for fine adjustments. A knife removes wood a lot faster, but sometimes you need a less aggressive tool for the job, and this one fills the need.

Remember, you can't put the wood back on once it's off!

File

I fail to see how the other reviews here could be real. The file is so fine that it's of no use. It'd take a VERY long time to remove any cane material at all.

Dear Mitchell, This file is quite fine but this is through intention as it is intended for the final finishing off / adjusting of the reeds rather than taking masses of cane off. We don't offer any harsher diamond files at the moment but this is certainly something we will look into! All the best, Matthew @ C&S

It did the job well

Marsden Bassoon Reeds

Surprisingly Free and easy to play, and very stable! Definitely will order again.

Great pencil

Great pencil, so handy having it magnetic so it's easy to find during rehearsals.

Very good

Very good quality and have lasted a while

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!
