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.

These got me out of a few jams! One was amazing. The flutist next to me bent it after about two days.
When i’m a beginner for oboe, i used Jones reeds. And it’s really hard to blow.
After quite a while, my instructor bought me Grahams reeds to try on. At first, I was not adjusted to the reed. But after blowing for several times, i found that it was easier to blow!
Now that my only Grahams reed was spoilt, i tried using back Jones reed, and it really was so hard to blow that i couldn’t even pitch the high notes. Sometimes i also could feel that my lips were very pain.
So now, i told my instructor to get Grahams reed instead of Jones reed. (:
if so many of u like these…y does the poll say that most of u don’t? :{
I purchased nearly 10 of these reeds when I was in high school. They gave me a pretty good sound. I would recommend these reeds to ANYONE who doesn’t have time to make their own, or if they are a young student.
I love these reeds! They produce a nice even tone and I’ve never bought a flawed one.
I ordered 3 reeds from them and 1 out of the 3 played well. The other 2 reeds openings were to closed and sounded really flat and didn’t sound out any low notes.
I play principal chair oboe in the South Dakota Symphony, and these reeds make a beautiful sound. Tone quality is smooth and even. Out of the 4 reeds that I myself have ordered, they were all very consistant.
Thanks much for commenting, and please rate the reedmaker in the poll.
The best commercially avaliable oboe reeds! A warm sound, good response, and excellent stability.
