The Eterion staple was developed by Oboe-Shop, together with famous oboists like David Walter, Ramon Ortega and Nick Deutsch.

By reducing the thickness of the brass and by changing the staple's geometry, the Eterion plays more comfortably than conventional staples. The intonation is well balanced and the sound is round.

According to Oboe-Shop, the staple is especially suitable for Marigaux and Josef oboes and all oboists who like the Guercio D12, Chiarugi 2 or Glotin staples. Let us know if you're interested in seeing this staple in 46mm.
