Mailed an order in January, and my check was cashed immediately. It is now almost September. Never received the reeds and she has ignored my numerous requests for a refund. Buyer beware!
These are the best reeds (oboe and EH) I have tried so far! Mine have all been nice and warm, free-blowing, and very well made. They didn’t “give out” too quickly either. I also received them within just a few days of ordering. Kathryn rocks!
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...

BAD REEDS! DO NOT ORDER! Try Graham, Cleveland or try another source. Inconsistent, bad sound, they leak, poor response, poor pitch. WASTE OF MONEY!
i never got my reeds
way to go tabby toes
thanks for the rip off
These are phenomenal reeds, with a nice dark, refined tone, and I have not had any problems with delays in shipping.
Great reeds, bad shipping. You must remind the maker that they have your order or you will never get it.

These reeds play very well, but tend to be brighter than I like.
