“Oboe arrived today. It is indeed a first class instrument in every respect! Thank you.”
Peter Hurd
“Richard is a brilliant technician who fully understands the importance of setting up an instrument to the highest professional standards.”
David CowleyPrincipal OboeBBC National Orchestra of Wales
“From personal experience, I can say that Richard’s work on bassoons is of a very high standard indeed. He is, in addition, a mine (goldmine..?) of friendly and useful advice on all aspects of woodwind instrument construction and maintenance.“
Roger BrookeAssociate Principal BassoonSydney Symphony
“I could not be happier with the work Richard has done on my oboe. He was enormously helpful and took the time to work with me to find the best solutions possible. His work is of a high quality that I know I can rely on to last”
Shefali PryorAssociate Principal OboeSydney Symphony
“I fully recommend Richard Craig’s work. He is highly skilled and thorough and his meticulous attention to detail gives very satisfying results. He is well equipped for the most complicated and daunting jobs and has an excellent knowledge of woodwind manufacture.”
John Cranex-Principal BassoonSydney Symphony
Richard’s woodwind repair work continues to be outstanding. Once again he has resurrected my old and tired Cor Anglais to a point where it feels almost new again. Precision re-corking, adjustments, thorough cleaning etc etc, it’s real quality work. Thank you.
Peter Duggan
“Full overhaul of old Puchner Bassoon, including a rotten boot joint and complete pad replacement. Excellent work, on time and with solid communication – very happy, thanks Richard!”
Matthew Angus
“…having a repairer who is reliable, conscientious, and above all, understanding, is an absolute requirement and I can recommend Richard’s work without hesitation. Richard has always insisted on my fully testing the instrument on collection to ensure any problems that may still exist are then resolved to my complete satisfaction, and this is a very reassuring aspect of his service.”
Edward KayPrincipal OboeBournemouth Symphony Orchestra
“Thank you both so much for getting this instrument for me! It arrived this morning and it is unbelievably good. Gorgeous, and it likes my reed, and it doesn’t wobble on 2nd octave F-sharp on my reed! The sound is much less muted than my old oboe. The upper register actually projects and it seems to take the air very easily in the high registers! You have made my year.   Thanks again, I’ll be suggesting you guys and the Howarth instruments to anyone who asks. This is my first Howarth oboe …
Shannon Laycock
“Thank you for your work on my bassoon. It certainly plays much more easily now than it has for as long as I can remember. … I can now sound the highest c, d and e flat without any trouble at all!”
Michael Julian Lew
