Very well made reeds. Oxford reeds offers reeds by two different reed makers. The reeds are different in timbre (one more bright – the other warm ). I tried one of each and found that I liked both of them. It is my impression that Lisa and Rebecca actually try out the reeds before they sent them out – which I suspect is not the case with all reedmkers! I am ordering more reeds from them. It is difficult to use the rating scale above (which incidentally I like the scale a lot!). Since the two reeds were very different. However, I would rate them as follows: Rebecca’s reed: Resistance 2, Timbre 2.5, Max Dynamic 3.5, Pitch Level 4, Stability 2.
I would rate Lisa’s reed as: Resistance 4, Timbre 5, Max Dynamic 5, Stability 4. Neither reed had any cracks, leaks, defects

These are simply outstanding, reliable, long-lived reeds. I have come back to them time and time again.

These reeds are made by entirely by hand by seasoned professionals and are of the highest quality available. I cannot say enough good things about these reeds. Beautiful warm sound, excellent intonation and very consistent. You really should give them a try.
