geekygeek April 28, 2012: Jones Double Reed Products Joboe, you’re doing so many things wrong. First, you should never use a reed for more than a month, for 2 months? Wow. Reeds won’t crack on the sides unless you play them dry or squeeze them to get their openings larger. Never...
joboe April 14, 2012: Jones Double Reed Products Two Jones reeds (med-soft) came with my oboe. One was great and I played with it for about 1-2 months before it cracked on the sides. The other reed was too open – I could not get a good sound out of it at all, even after soaking it for...

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.
