NLuechinger May 2, 2012: Reeds That Work I can recommend these reeds. They are reliable, of good quality and they really work!
geekygeek April 28, 2012: Jones Double Reed Products Joboe, you’re doing so many things wrong. First, you should never use a reed for more than a month, for 2 months? Wow. Reeds won’t crack on the sides unless you play them dry or squeeze them to get their openings larger. Never...
joboe April 14, 2012: Jones Double Reed Products Two Jones reeds (med-soft) came with my oboe. One was great and I played with it for about 1-2 months before it cracked on the sides. The other reed was too open – I could not get a good sound out of it at all, even after soaking it for...

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.
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.
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.
