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.

Stefan Glave May 2, 2012: SUGGESTION BOX Reed Indeed a small swedish new company specialising in handmade oboe reeds. It’s provides high-quality oboe reeds to professionals and students, who don´t want to worry about their reeds, or don´t have the time, patience or competence to make...
geekygeek April 28, 2012: Jones Double Reed Products Joboe, you’re doing so many things wrong. First, you should never use a reed for more than a month, for 2 months? Wow. Reeds won’t crack on the sides unless you play them dry or squeeze them to get their openings larger. Never...
joboe April 14, 2012: Jones Double Reed Products Two Jones reeds (med-soft) came with my oboe. One was great and I played with it for about 1-2 months before it cracked on the sides. The other reed was too open – I could not get a good sound out of it at all, even after soaking it for...
ryancwalsh April 5, 2012: Reeds In Case After reading Jade_Sixx’s comment, I thought I should mention that ReedsInCase reeds are guaranteed and if they aren’t quite to your liking, I will do everything in my power to get you a reed that you like! Just email me and let me know, and...
oboejane April 5, 2012: Reeds In Case I ordered 2 oboe reeds and 1 EH reed from reedsincase. They arrived about a week after I ordered them. I was really excited when I opened them up, because they look just like the photos on the website! And I must say, they exceeded my expectations! The...

These reeds play well at first but quickly become unstable.
