Intermediate--Plays Most days--Used 6-10 reedmakers--Reedmaking: Buy and do not adjust

I would be willing to order these reeds again.

Professional--Used 6-10 reedmakers--Plays most days--Buys but adjusts

Only tried once, weren’t substantial enough for me. Probably very good for a less demanding playing schedule.

I simply love Jennifer’s reeds. The tone and intonation of her reeds are such a huge upgrade for any oboist searching for great oboe and english horn reeds. They are so consistently good and dependable, and have incredibly reasonable prices compared to her counterparts. She is also loyal to her refund policies, and works for the customer, not just for the money :D

I have found these reeds to be a fantastic match…I think switching to them really improved my playing.

Intermediate--Used 2-5 reedmakers--Plays most days--Usually makes own reeds

Jennifer’s reeds are wounderful. I used it for my ABRSM exam, and finally the English man gave me a comment which he enjoy the sound of my oboe. Also, my reeds usually success with using Jennifer’s cane. Highly recommend to all, from beginner to professional~

Jennifer’s reeds are FANTASTIC!!! I have tried many different reeds and these are the first I’ve bought that I didn’t have to adjust at all. She is also very prompt and her prices are the best I’ve seen for the quality of the reed.

these turned out to not be the reeds for me, but Jennifer cheerfully and promptly refunded my money when I returned them, as she promises. You can order with confidence; many others appear to love her reeds and if they aren’t for you, Jennifer stands behind her refund policy.

I really love Jennifer’s reeds. They work beautifully with my Loree to provide a dark warm sound. Every reed I have received has been of excellent quality. Her prices are also very reasonable.

According to her website, she isn’t selling reeds right now.
