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: 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....

The reeds arrived very rapidly, only two or three days after I ordered them. They are clearly very carefully scraped, and they have a nice sound, with soft attacks possible on the low notes. The reeds were very consistent from one to another. The mediums I ordered had slightly more resistance than I prefer (but I rather doubt I’d like “soft”). My only other quibble is that none of the three reeds were sufficiently stable in pitch for F, F#, and G in the second octave. Maybe it’s just an interaction with my specific oboe (a Rigoutat J). Anyway, I’m sure many would be happy with HB reeds.
I would be lost without HB Oboe reeds! They have a very steady feel. At the same time, they allow for a wide range of dynamic and stylistic expression. I can tell that the reed maker pays close attention to detail on each reed I have ordered. I have tried ordering reeds from other sites, but none have compared to HB Oboe reeds.
HB Oboe reeds are fantastic! The reeds are so precisely balanced to the tip and always consistent. I’d recommend them to anyone!
