NLuechinger May 2, 2012: Reeds That Work I can recommend these reeds. They are reliable, of good quality and they really work!
geekygeek April 28, 2012: Jones Double Reed Products Joboe, you’re doing so many things wrong. First, you should never use a reed for more than a month, for 2 months? Wow. Reeds won’t crack on the sides unless you play them dry or squeeze them to get their openings larger. Never...
joboe April 14, 2012: Jones Double Reed Products Two Jones reeds (med-soft) came with my oboe. One was great and I played with it for about 1-2 months before it cracked on the sides. The other reed was too open – I could not get a good sound out of it at all, even after soaking it for...

Advantage is NOT owned by Chartier in Albuquerque. Whoever is claiming this is MISINFORMED and seems to have some sort of grudge and wants to belittle others. Just guessing that it might be a recent “Anonymous” Aug 11th commenter who is probably touting his own reeds but seems to have trouble remembering to pay his bills (and is now cut off from a supply source). This comment is just so folks will consider the “Anonymous” source before taking everything published in this forum as gospel. Does slander ring a bell? PS: it is situations like this that show a need for an identity requirement for comments (especially for those who want to publish falsehoods)
These reeds are made by Chartier in Albuquerque, who owns the Advantage site as his retail outlet. His reeds are sold under many names, but are all only suitable for beginners i.e. the first week of playing. Machine made from cheap materials, they will give you the duck-like sound the oboe is stereotyped as having. Don’t buy them.
I used these reeds as a beginner but now they are not as strong. the tone isn’t as good as other makes but they were good to use starting off.
I have been purchasing these reeds for my daughter for quite awhile now. They have an excellent return policy, but we have been having problems over the last several months with the reeds leaking air. We have even had her private lesson instructor check the reeds before returning them. I am now looking for a more reliable reed.
several purchased over many months all worked well and very reasonable prices
