... is this just taking the "p" ?

Of course, I would like to hear from anyone who has bought one!

Cheers,

Must be a mistake, I looked into getting one but the importer told me they had no plans to bring any more into the country.....but then told me I could have one if I wanted one??? if you get the price sorted I will have one as well, let me know...

I can't get ebay so I can only guess what it is you're discussing

Let me think

Something saxophone related

It's a reed. Eighty five quid delivered. That's one reed, not a huge crate of them. One single reed.

Wow have you seen how many items they have listed.

Jesus! over two and a half million items!

Is it listed as an "electronics item" further down....or is that just their standard bumpf?

They often list things with daft prices. A box of 5 Alexander DC reeds is a regular for around £75

At that price, they must be good.

Think I've just discovered why I joined Dementia Friends.

Glad it's not just me! To be honest I didn't look too much into the buyer or other listings, just thought it was another "high end" product.
At that price, I thought it was almost as bad as the reproduction Grafton plexiglass keyguard at £300!

They sell on Amazon.co for $20 (http://www.amazon.com/Forestone-FTS045-Tenor-Saxophone-Brown/dp/B00606LBUG) .... but if you try Amazon.co.uk, they are quoting crazy prices as well!!

They were stocked by Howarth of London, but do not seem to feature in their list of "Single Sax Reeds" so I have just emailed them to see why not.

I have an Alto #3 Forestone reed for sale for £70 cheaper. They were costing £18 at Howarth.
