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....

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!
