sr14225 February 22, 2010: Gary Armstrong Woodwinds 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...

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. I’m only an intermediate player but I love the way they sound so far. I will continue...Support open education with the Neoclassical Theme.

Nice reed, last long, but the cane could be harder for me ~ Looking forward to buying some more from Marjorie. Thanks Marjorie ~
Great product, fantastic service & a joy to trade with. Many thanks.
I have always been pleased with your reeds. They are responsive to play and I have been able to make better progress. Many thanks.
Splendid oboe and oboe d’amore reeds at affordable prices.
Quick & knowledgable reedmaker.
Consistent and well made reeds. Excellent service too.
The reeds arrived safely, carefuly wrapped & promptly. My daughter has taken ABRSM grade 3 suceessfully & I am so glad Billerbeck Oboe Reeds were recommended to me.
Very good reeds.
These reeds are great. All of my pupils like them and I play on them myself. They are excellent value for money as they last a long time and produce a vibrate tone and have any easy response. I would happily recommend them to everyone – and do!
Thank you for your responses & votes.
I’ve used Billerbeck Oboe Reeds for years now and the tone that I always get out of them is superb! The service is quick and caring, if orderd my reed is ready by the next week. There is a great choice of staples, I personaly prefer the ‘all metal’ staple, as I find I can project a wider range of tone and the higher register of notes easier to play. I also LOVE the binding on the reeds as it comes in many different colours, my favourite being the pink and purple.
I’ve been these reeds now for several years. The tone is great and they last for ages. They are very well priced and i’ve always recieved a quick and friendly service.
Reeds great for all pupil levels – and they work without significant adjustment, straight out of the box! Kids admire the careful craftsmanship and elegant appearance as well as starting, from the very first attempt, to make the right oboe sound. As bassoonist teaching oboe, I appreciate the right amount of resistance so that I too can make a refined sound when playing with the pupil, with the minimum of effort.
I use these reeds for myself and pupils, who range from beginner stages up to grade8(ABRSM)standard.They need breaking in over several weeks to provide a really good response as well as a good life.
