The new site has a lengthy biographical sketch but nothing else other than a PayPal ordering link.
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!

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...

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.
