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: 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....

Used the pro-z reeds. they did need adjustment to play. Not the best I’ve played though.
the pro z reeds are not very good. they are buzzy and not in tune. I have tried many of them and am not satisfied. But the x and y reeds are very nice, but they do require a little bit of scraping to get them the way you want them to be, like most reeds. i usually get them in the same amount of time as i would a z reed.
The “Pro-Z” reeds are ok, but they are not scraped well. I ordered one of these reeds because I needed a reed quickly, and the site said this maker’s reeds were always in stock. The reed played well for a while, but then the edges of the tip soon were broken, because the two pieces of can had large (2-3mm) overlap. I ordered another one, which was average, also. The main disadvantage of the reeds was that the backs of the hearts were not smoothly cut; one could tell that the reed had been scraped quickly from the back to the heart. The other reed makers (makers “X” and “Y”) may have better reeds, since they have a longer shipping time (around 4 weeks)
