the real deal
good price on quite possibly the best practice chanter reed on the market. They do work best in the Gibson chanters, and very well in others that have a large reed chamber. Not quite so well in the slimmer practice chanters (like the shepherd, which sounds great with narrow bladed reeds).
Very Dissapointing
I ordered these reeds a few weeks back, and just got them in the mail. I'm in Iraq, so the weeks I waited for these were expected, as well as highly anticipated. I awaited the arrival for weeks, and was looking forward to playing. I can't even put into words the dissapointment/rage I feel. I bought four of these, and only three of them worked, and very badly at that. One of them was completly defective. The other three sounded more like a duck call, without a consistent tone. The reeds are absolute garbage, and I am really pissed off for waiting two weeks for these, only to be let down. I will never, ever, purchase another product from Gibson again.
Hate to rain on the parade but......
Perhaps having just read the incredible 'destiny's lady' and 'forever and beyond' made it impossible to for this sequel about daughter diana to live up to my expectations. I read 1/3rd of this book and gave it up. The story line is nothing unusual and diana is fairly shallow, much into getting her own way in everything. After very brief interaction diana and jared declare undying love.....Actually Jared's first words (after diana throws herself at him) are things like 'my heart, my love, etc...'. Too much, too soon and boring.......The best part may have come later but I'll never know...but susan grace is a talent to watch and I'll try another of her sequels to lady cat soon.............
Not an all day chair
This is a sturdy chair but it's not very comfortable. You wouldn't want to sit in this chair for more than an hour at a time. It's definitely not an all day office chair. It's better to suited to situations where the person doesn't need to sit for long.
comfortable compared to what?
I bought this chair as a christmas gift for my fiance. After putting it together (which was easy) I sat in it, and hated it. The cushion is hard, and the back is uncomfortable. I felt like I was going to slide right out of it. I am not even going to bother giving it as a gift...
A horrible, pathetic chair
What a mistake purchasing this chair. It sits comfortably enough except it is NOT LEVEL and there is no way I can get it level. I am ALWAYS leaning in a direction. To make it tolerable I try to turn the base so that the low spot is behind me, but it a continuing battle that is a constant distraction.Please, do not buy this chair.
