I have been playing solo bassoon at the Ankara State Opera for many years. I used a wide range of reeds. With Lavaro Reeds I can produce the sound I want more easily. To find durable canes for my reeds for opera performances is very crucial. Lavaro Canes are more durable and less affected by weather changes. Thanks Lavaro Reeds for making my life easier (2018)

Since I began using Lavoro cane, reed making has never felt easier. The cane is consistently good and very stable, and I am able to create the sound and colour I require without difficulty, whether playing in a large symphony orchestra or in a smaller ensemble. I highly recommend Lavoro to my students and colleagues.

Three years ago I was suggested to try Lavoro cane for the first time. I loved it from the very first moment I used it and never thought of switching back. This cane has everything you can ever look for: its intonation is really stable, flexibility is wonderful and it has an incredibly high success rate. Highly recommended! (2020, May)

Lavoro convinces so much about the quality of sound, filexibility and the stability. Besides that the durability of the cane provides the opportunity to work with the same material for a long time. Highly recommended!
