Advanced--Plays Most days--Used More than 10 reedmakers--Reedmaking: Buy but adjust
I very strongly recommend these reeds. I’ve tried so many different suppliers and found reeds that work the best. They are quick and reliable, beautifully made and very prepared to adjust to one’s individual requirements. Great sound without excessive resistance. Give them a go!
These reeds are the best that I have found. I have searched and searched for reeds that are free, flexible and aren’t unnessesarily hard. The reeds are made with great quality cane and other materials. I have found “Reeds that Work” to go that extra mile for the customer. If I want them to scrape a little less, or a little more, they’re more than willing!! The name of the site says it all, and I do not hesitate in the slightest reccommeding this site to you all.

Anonymous January 14, 2012: The Reedmaker For me, these reeds are the best. I ordered three reeds from him and two of them were too hard, so I sent them back, and he scraped more and threw another one in! Every one of them were the best sounding reeds I have played so far, not that I have...

Klezmer January 4, 2012: Reed Expression Normall have made my own for years, but do not have the time. I purchased 5 medium-soft German scrape reeds. I just adjusted them to my own chops and all five play very well. They respond easy and have very good intonation. I am trying a couple EH...
