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....

I am quite happy with Double Reed Girl’s reeds and would recommend them. However, on her web site, when ordering reeds, she gives five shapes without an explanation as to what the shape names mean. I wrote and asked her. The following is her reply:
“Gilbert -1N: the narrowest of the shapes I offer, good for someone who needs the reed to sit up in pitch and likes a smaller opening
Gilbert -1: a bit wider than the -1N, this is the shape I use most often because of its stability
Mack +: similar to the Gilbert -1, with more flare at the tip
Caleb -1: has a “bellied” or “contoured” shape, good for dark tone, tends to be a bit more open and full to play
Caleb: the widest of the shapes I offer, this is contoured as is the Caleb -1, tends to be lower in pitch with a full, dark sound”
I am assuming that this is not proprietary information. I certainly would never have ordered without it. It is wonderful that she is willing to give her customers the choice of five shapes but it is even better knowing what they mean.

P.S. Her site says that she sells english horn reeds as well.
Very fine reeds with a lovely dark timbre – quite easy blowing. Alyssa is very accomodating and has a nice range of reed types to choose from.
