crayolaawesome February 18, 2010: Gary Armstrong Woodwinds I’m sorry sr14225 but you seem woefully uninformed. Gary Armstrong Woodwinds carries a large assortment of handmade reeds from various makers around Ontario and they have been for the last decade.
stbradle February 16, 2010: SUGGESTION BOX Perhaps you could write a small review for beginners so that they would know what strength reeds to try before spending a whole lot of money. Thanks!
quuquui February 5, 2010: Jones Double Reed Products I recently started using Jones Medium reeds as a convenience. I must say that the last three have all been excellent right after a good soak.

What I meant was, I don’t think that Gary normally sells HIS reeds, at least that was the impression I got. I did find a couple of other reeds there the last time I went to the shop made by two professional oboe players. They weren’t bad, but I can’t remember the names unfortunately. I’ll have to give them a call and find out.

Jim Mason, principal oboe of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, has recently started making reeds for Gary Armstrong Woodwinds. Jim is a great player and reed maker as anyone in the Ontario area already knows. His reeds are definitely worth trying.
Last time I went to Gary Armstrong he sold me a couple of reeds that he made but he doesn’t normally sell reeds. Anyway, I didn’t like the reeds, they were not for me. I’ve yet to try the cane I bought from him.
