midnightkat August 18, 2010: Lisa Hudson Oboe Reeds I had ordered Lisa’s “The Doubler” Package (Professional), 2 oboe and 2 EH reeds with med strength and dark tone. I needed the reeds quick due to a tour date and got them in time, I did pay extra for the expedited order,...
Paul Hartl August 14, 2010: Stuart Dunkel Some good ones, but I have not seen much consistency from those that I have received from Dunkel in the last year – too many, more than half – have been junk. Paul Hartl August 14, 2010: ReedMonster I ordered 3 sets of 3 over a year’s time. 2 were great performance reeds with nice dark tone, excellent pitch stability, and ease of playing. 3 were practically unplayable (very, very light) garbage, and the other 4 were pretty good... Paul Hartl August 14, 2010: Jeanne Oboe Reeds Jeanne is not making finished reeds anymore, as of 2009 Paul Hartl August 14, 2010: American Oboe Reed Company I ordered 3 professional reeds and got 4! All are easy to play with excellent response, particularly in the low register. Very consistent from reed to reed with a very finished look and feel. One major complaint – they all play... midnightkat August 10, 2010: Reed Daddy My thoughts on these reeds. I ordered 3 “Principal Oboe Reeds” and did not care for any of them. I’ve been playing for about 16 years and found that they were too resistant and did not have the dynamic range I am used to with my reeds....

Beautifully crafted reeds and a very efficient, personalised service. I’d recommend him.
Beautifully made reeds, very consistant. It’s fantastic to be able to have my reeds made to my specific preferences, nothing is too much trouble!

apologies to Claire who posted the above comment,
I indeed moved my po box and telehone number for the simple reason I have moved to Somerset, I realise this caused a bit of a delay, but things are definately back on track and the sevice is quicker than ever with my usual cosistency and quality. Best wishes to all double reeders out there

These are great reeds for students, although personally I don’t play on them myself because they don’t suit me. I don’t know what is going on in Nick Winfield’s life, though, but in the last couple of months (since Xmas 06) his service has plummetted. One student ordered reeds and apparently the order never got through (he’d just changed address to a PO box, maybe that was a bad idea); I ordered reeds a month ago, and although the cheque has been cashed there is no sign of any reeds yet – bad form, in my opinion. He needs to sort this out PDQ or he’s going to lose customers….
Consistent, wide range to choose from.
Gouged & shaped cane – well cut & of qulaity.
Having tried a number of reeds, Winfield Reeds were by far the most consistantly playable, Nick also offers a recaning service and is happy to adjust a reed if it does not suit. Brilliant!!
