 Re: Cor anglais/English horn problems

Check the staple is a good fit on the crook and that it doesn't leak. A suction test with the reed fitted to the staple will show up any leaks (close the end of the crook off with one finger and suck the air from the reed so the blades remain closed until they pop open), but check your reed isn't leaking before trying this.

I've had trouble where the staples on some reeds wobble on the crook which makes things interesting (and very frustrating) and you can wrap some PTFE tape around the tip of the crook to make it seal better against the inside taper of the staple.
