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.

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!
