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.

Overall, an excellent reed – responsive and easy to play. My only complaint would be that it plays flat in my Howarth S45, but can adjust this and hopefully it should sharpen with age anyway. Iwill be ordering again, these reeds have a far superior tone and are more consistent in quality than anything I have ever ordered from Howarths.
excellent reeds and CONSISTENT in quality
It’s nice with playing David’s reeds. All reeds are easy-playing and stable for me, I played US style reeds though ~
He sent two reeds very quickly as I was in a hurry. These are very good reeds. I was looking for a close tip opening as many times reeds bloat up after the first soaking/playing. I didn’t have to spend time squishing these reeds to a usable opening. They were very easy to control for me.
I have brought some of these redds recently. Very well made, will good tone. excellent personalised service and prompt delivery. Will use these again
David’s reeds are very well made and work well in my Buffet Greenline. I have only had three reeds from him but all worked well and produced a good warm sound in my oboe as they were quite wide shaped “big” reeds which it likes. I think David uses a Greenline as well so knows what matches these instruments.
The craftmanship is very good – well gouged, shaped, tied on and scarped – and the price and time of delivery very reasonable.
Thank you David I’ll be back when I need you!
