An excellent professional reed made with the all brass NW-01 Winfield staple with silver plating. These reeds are very reliable and the quality is consistent They have a medium scrape with a long tip, which gives flexibility to the sound. These reeds are popular with both intermediate and professional players. The continental scrape leaves a little more cane in the centre of the reed, which makes the sound a little warmer than the British scrape. These have slightly more resistance than the British scrape Winfield reeds.
All Winfield reeds are made using hand picked French cane, usually either Mme.Ghys or Alliaud. All reeds are wired unless you specifically request otherwise.
The Winfield NW-01 is a new and exciting revolution in staples, because there is so little in contact with the Oboe apart from the two rubber bands, the staple is free to vibrate without the usual dampening effect of cork, therefore it makes for a truly free, vibrant sound. The Winfield staple is tooled from high quality brass made on high tech computer controlled machinery that ensures each one is identical to the last.
