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.

Sound is terrible.
I have used Bill’s reeds for a couple of years.They were great! I truly love ‘em.Besides.the price is very reasonable.

As a student studying in a conservatory, I think Bill’s reed is not awful, not mess at all. I do not agree with someone saying Bill’s reed is so bad that can’t be even worse.
I bought Bill’s reed very long time ago, and I still remember what the texture, what’s the sound was when I’m playing with. Actually, it sounds great.
But I think he can improve with the windows. I think if the window part can be scrape it more distinct, the sound would project more clear, because sometimes the reed sounds a bit too dark.
Best wishes to you Bill,

This is Bill Roscoe again. On every reed I sell there is a note on the bottom of the box that says, “Guaranteed to play.” Anyone who is not happy with my reeds can give me a call. My number is listed. I will either replace the reed or give the customer their money back. Bill Roscoe
As a professional woodwind player I used Bill’s reeds over a two year period. As time went on I did a little customizing and like all commercially available reeds you play on the best of a bunch. I have 10 reeds in my reed case now and fuss with them during practice….come show time I go with my best reed. My advice is to buy lots and pick the best. If you go with a reed that costs 25 dollars you don’t have that luxury . Bill is great to do business with….professional and friendly.
Truly hate them. Nothing good to say. No loud sound I am looking for.
I am Bill Roscoe who makes ‘Bill Roscoe Oboe Reeds”. There are some other interesting comments on my web page located at:

I will finish 50 years as a reed maker next year in 1959.
They’re a mess.

Awful. They look machine made and sound tinny.
