I had the pleasure to try both the Feroleto’s shaped reed canes and the Feroleto’s reeds I must say that the reeds are well manufactured with the right size and thickness, are very consistent between the registers (bass and treble notes), easy to play and with an always ready attack. The sound quality is also very good with a interesting timbre and all this also benefits to intonation.1st bassoonist of the National Accademy “ Santa Cecilia”

I recently used Feroleto’s shaped reed cane for my reeds and I can observe with an immediate satisfaction a quality of a smooth, warm and free sound! With this reed cane it’s possible to meet the goal in a short time and the value for money is great!Principal Bassoon BBC phil. & Bassoon Professor Royal College of Music (RCM), London.

I had the chance to try the shaped reed canes and reeds produced by Matteo Feroleto on several occasions! I find the work of Matteo on the gouged, tempered and shaped cane, very, very interesting! The quality of material (due to a excellent selection and manufacturing) is always very high and thus allows to obtain an extremely high level of yield! The expertise in the work of the material is timely and effective: excellent!Basson Super Soliste Orchestre de Paris - France

had the chance to try Feroleto’s goods and I reccomend to everyone to try it. It is a wood that has interesting qualities both in the sound that in the consistence of the fiber. Moreover, the important thing in that, even after some days, the readiness of emission does not change at all.1st bassoonist of the “ Opera di Roma”

I find the cane for bassoon Matthew Feroleto very interesting both for the objective quality of the material, a compact fiber, a natural and correct seasoning and precise processing, both the yield in its use, good sound, intonation and high success rate. Thank Matthew for his work and I would, without a doubt, to recommend the use of its material.First bassoon soloist with the Orchestra of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan.

Some time ago I had the chance to try, almost by chance I would say, the Feroleto cane. From the beginning I was very impressed by the quality that characterized it. I therefore wanted to understand if it was a fortuitous event or this quality, which had struck me, was a characteristic of the material. I did not take long to see the very high standard.First Bassoon Orchestra Fondazione Arena di Verona

The reeds for bassoon Feroleto are of a really high quality. Very uniform and compact in the fiber these reeds give a very constant result: the timbre is round and dark but with a core always full and rich of color. The percentage of success of the reed is very high, thanks to a natural aging and a favorable climate.1st Bassoonist of the “ Maggio Musicale Fiorentino”

I had the chance to try Feroleto’s shaped and tempered reed cane ad I appreciated the important characteristics. The consistence,the quality of the fiber and the manufacture led to have a very good timbre and equilibre of the sound and a great precisions as regard the attack and the intonation. The flexibility of the material gives the opportunity to manage the dynamics, the timber and the sonority with effectivness.First Bassoon solo player at the “ Orchestra della Toscana”

I ordered 50 pieces of shaped reed cane. The package arrived in a week, and the canes where well packed. No cracks, just well handcrafted reeds. After finishing some reeds, I was blown away, how this wood sounds like. I play an old Heckel with platinum Leitzinger bocal, and I'm always searching for some good quality reeds with very dark sound.Member of the Swiss Chamber Opera

I have been lucky enough to try Matteo Feroleto's cane since its inception almost ten years ago and I have been immediately positively impressed. The quality and precision of the scraping, the full and rich sound...Substitute Solo-Bassoon/Contrabassoon Orchestra of the Cottbus State Opera, Germany
