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.

I ordered a couple of reeds from Mark years ago, and they not only still play, they have remained stable. I like the integrated style, i.e. not distinct ‘windows’ and ’spine’. I’d order again from him any day, if my own reeds fail me.
The all metal staples are very good indeed. Highly recommended is the gold plated staple.
I found that the reeds needed some scraping to define the blend between heart and tip a little better. Before scraping, they tended to whistle a bit. Otherwise, I consider them a good “back-up” reed.
