   Nielsen reeds are all made by different reed makers. Nielsen’s gives a pretty good description of the reeds. For a beginner who has a few months under their belt, the black reeds are great. They are very consistent. The green string reeds seem to be variable. The blue stringed reed has a narrower tip than the gold string. The tone outcomes are different. I prefer the blue strings. If you are an advanced player try the gray or silver string reeds, flexible, dark tone, good pitch.

   I ordered a Green oboe reed and a Purple oboe reed. Neither one was great right out of the package, but with a little basic scraping, I was able to get a decent sound. However, within a couple weeks, the green reed, which was the better of the two, began to develop a crack. Sure enough, by the end of the week, the crack spread from a thin, dark line to a full crack and I had to destroy the reed. I’m going to do some more scraping on the purple reed to see if I can get it to work. I may try the more professional reeds in the future, when funds allow.

   The black reeds are great. They have a decent tone and the shipping time is with minimal wait.

   I use the blue student professional and professional consistantly. THey need little adjustment and have a great sound and amazing projection.

   Had success with their Red and Black beginner reeds. They have been consistently decent performers. Terrible luck with their white ones. Bought four whites, only one was serviceable.

   The yellow reeds are pretty consistent and good, not the loudest reed but not reedy either.

   The tone and response you get from these reeds is minimal.
