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.
stbradle February 16, 2010: SUGGESTION BOX Perhaps you could write a small review for beginners so that they would know what strength reeds to try before spending a whole lot of money. Thanks!
quuquui February 5, 2010: Jones Double Reed Products I recently started using Jones Medium reeds as a convenience. I must say that the last three have all been excellent right after a good soak. I’m only an intermediate player but I love the way they sound so far. I will continue...Support open education with the Neoclassical Theme.

This review is for the Deluxe Student Reeds only (the only reeds I’ve tried lately). These are a true bargain. I have been suggesting the deluxe student reeds, MS-M, to my beginning students (first year or two of playing) for about a year now. Normally I would not consider a machine-profiled reed, but these are so inexpensive, I gave them a try. They are remarkably dark for a machine-profiled reed, thanks to hand-cut windows. My students like them, and say they feel comfortable to play on. They are a little stiffer than I like for some absolute beginners (first month of playing,) but perfect for developing players, since the reeds are capable of a full sound. They also have a feel similar to more professional and expensive reeds–no weird dimensions. It seems like the usual batting average applies–order 3, you get 2 good ones and one that would be okay for practicing on at home.
The reeds are stable, they are suitable to play in the range of 440 to 442. But the opening it’s too big and a bit too dark, so, I have to sqeeze a little to adjust until the reeds can play high notes easily ~ Recommend to all .
By far the most stable and consistent reeds I’ve tried.
north texas is the best! my teacher recommends them. so do my private lesson teacher and i. i
Pretty hard to blow against. The reed wasn’t quite vibrant enough, but when I scraped the heart, the whole thing destabilized.
Very nice English horn reeds. Oboe reeds a bit too open for my tastes, but seem well-made. Has been a while since I have ordered oboe reeds from here, so they may be different now.
I used to use these reeds until he got a little too popular. Then they quickly went downhill. Consistently overscraped and unsalvagable.
do not last past two weeks??????
[text deleted] seriosly?
Wait time is horrible. I usually order more than one reed because its hit or miss if all of them work. When they work they are wonderful, but most of the time there are major pitch problems and wait times. Great refund system though
wonderful sound, but do not last past 2 wks
It was a wait. I am a beginner. They were soft. Worked OK, but didn’t hold up. I probably need medium hard.
Slow response time with online ordering.
