Nice reed, last long, but the cane could be harder for me ~ Looking forward to buying some more from Marjorie. Thanks Marjorie ~

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!

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.
