Advanced--Used 2-5 reedmakers--Plays most days--Buys but adjusts

Excellent reeds, handmade with care. Shipped within a reasonably short period(usually 7 days at most) and very consistent. If you need a professional quality reed, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

These reeds were amazing! I was so thrilled to get them, they had a great, dark tone and played beautifully right out of the box. He contacted me right away to find out what I wanted in my reeds and service was very prompt. I had a demanding concert schedule and these reeds were very dependable and consistent and are still playing great a month later. I highly recommend these reeds for sound and service.

I have tried several reedmakers and Bill’s reeds are by far the most consistent that I have found so far. I am a professional musician who plays oboe and Engligh horn as a second instrument. All of the reeds I ordered were good enough to be used in a performance situation with little or no adjustments.

I am an experienced player and needed an English horn reed to play at mile-high Denver. Bill listened to all of my concerns, was immediate in replies and had the reed to me in 3 days. Great service and a lovely reed.

I just wanted to invite everybody to check out my new site ReedDaddy.com. At the moment, it is up and running but I am still waiting for my first tool supply orders to arrive. I will be carrying knives, mandrels,thread as well as other reedmaking and oboe supplies. I am going to make an effort to carry alternatives to traditional items as well as brand names in order to offer more value for the money. Everything should be up by mid-September, so if you visit now, please come back again then.
