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....

Lovely sound, stable, maker will try to make to your specs.
So far, so good!
I really enjoyed her reeds a couple of years ago, but one day she quit responding to our order. I never sent anything back, and never complained. After 6 months, I quit calling trying to place my order.
I bought some reeds at the IDRS convention from her and she was super nice. She knew exactly what I wanted. The down side is always the wait though.
I agree with the others. If and when you get your order, the reeds are great. However, I think she is ignoring me now. One time I asked to have the pitch a bit higher for my new oboe and the batch came and they were flatter than the previous times. I sent them back to be fixed and that was the end of me. I’m on her s*** list.
The wait was so bad that I had to get on her monthly ordering list. And they don’t even come monthly! Sometimes they’re okay, and other times, they aren’t so good.
Don’t dare try to exchange the defective reeds (even when half of the batch is bad), or you will get kicked out as a customer.
reeds are good IF you ever get them!!!!! wait can be up to 3 months without hearing from her.
The reeds have been good, but it takes forever to get them and she gets upset if you bug her.
I have been very impressed with these reeds (for my students) and the price is good; but they take an inordinate amount of time to arrive (6+ weeks, even more) Several of my students will not order again because of the lengthy wait. If she could even give out a delivery date so people could plan ahead that would be great.
Can take a while but they are consistent. she will make them to your specs!
