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 cannot say I have used Mark’s reeds, however his staples are incredibly good. The best I have tried. Very consistent.
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.
