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....

First off, I have never tried the reeds advertised here. That said, I find it hard to believe that six reviewers all believe it’s the holy grail of oboe reeds. It just seems kinda fishy to me.
Also, try clicking on Jane’s name, it’s linked to an interesting site.
Joe’s reeds are about as good as you can expect if you aren’t making your own. They are in tune and last. Also, Joe makes every effort to get his reeds sent in a timely manner.
I tried two – one medium and one medium hard. I really like the medium. Very in tune and great tone. I plan to get all my reeds from Joe as long as he is willing to supply them.
awesome reeds…i just got one to start with and it was perfect!! i had a concert last night and got tons of compliments on my tone because of this reed!!! i would definately recommend these!
Didn’t care for his reeds at all – tried two each of two different hardnesses. Tried adjusting, but never got them to work well for me for the price.
they are the best reeds i have ever used. they are good to play high and low. i have played many pieces in ease with them. they are also very durable and the tthread colors are very unique.
Really nice reeds. In tune, dark without being muffled and dull. Project well but still are easy to play quietly. Very fast shipping and resonable prices. I love the colors of thread also!
