Crap reeds. Very thin at the tip, leek, do not transition from high to low well. Bought four and not one was made well and all played with a horrible sound. Pretty colors if that’s what’s important.
Made well and usually in tune – last a long time. I like the colors they come in! I use the medium-hard reeds and they feel more “comfortable” than other reeds I’ve tried. I can also get these stocked at Collins Music Store, instead or ordering direct (at same price, less shipping).
I ordered these reeds for my daughter after having trouble with Advantage reeds leaking air and wearing out quickly. Advantage did give good warranty but you spent alot of time talking to them about the problems and exchanging. These singin dog reeds came in about 10 days and my daughter loves them. She says they work great, sound great and are lasting longer. Just in time for a state solo contest.
I find the Singin’ Dog medium-hard professional reeds play right out of the box, and last longer than others I’ve bought. And they are consistent throughout the range of the instrument, speaking as easily for a low B flat as for a high G.
Singin’ dog reeds are the only reeds I will ever buy again. They are very consistent: high quality, excellent tone, and very long-lasting all at a reasonable price ($15). After trying so many other reed companies, it is a relief to finally find one I can depend on. I especially recommend the medium soft.
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....

These reeds play well at first but quickly become unstable.

Thank you for posting a comment. I believe you’re the first! Please vote in the poll above, and tell your fellow reed customers about the site.
Very easy to work with, reeds came in a good time and were of wonderful quality. I highly recommend!
