I buy old Staples (reed corks)
In this age of recycling and reusing I feel it is important to ensure less oboe reeds end up in the bin!
I already do recanes for adult reeds which reuses the staples but now I am offering a service where I will buy your old reed staples.
The staples are the cork and metal end of the reed and if they are in good condition they can be reused over and over again.
Do you have boxes of old staples or old reeds doing nothing?
If you would like them to be reused to make new reeds then please do email me with details of how many staples you have available and if possible a picture so I can see the quality. If they haven't lost any cork they are reusable. I would then email you an offer to buy the staples. If you are happy to sell them to me you'll be sent an order number and details of where to send the reeds/staples and once they are received and checked you would be sent payment via your chosen method (paypal/BACs transfer) straight away.
