cokomo January 31, 2012: Lyn Davies I don’t know if the reed stock is different or what, but I have just purchased three reeds from Rush’s and the next day two of them were cracked.
geekygeek January 28, 2012: Jones Double Reed Products Good for beginners, and the medium soft is quite easily to blow on. Pretty durable and consistent. They’re good beginner reeds but the sound quality isn’t so fantastic. I use just a regular knife (even though you should buy a...

Anonymous January 14, 2012: SUGGESTION BOX Thank you so much for this site. I have a limited # of manufacturers where I lived, and they all sound bad( Jones, Emerald, Richards). Anyway, you could improve the collected ratings page by sepeating them by area(USA, Asia, Australia, Canada,... 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...Support open education with the Neoclassical Theme.

Overall, an excellent reed – responsive and easy to play. My only complaint would be that it plays flat in my Howarth S45, but can adjust this and hopefully it should sharpen with age anyway. Iwill be ordering again, these reeds have a far superior tone and are more consistent in quality than anything I have ever ordered from Howarths.
excellent reeds and CONSISTENT in quality
It’s nice with playing David’s reeds. All reeds are easy-playing and stable for me, I played US style reeds though ~
He sent two reeds very quickly as I was in a hurry. These are very good reeds. I was looking for a close tip opening as many times reeds bloat up after the first soaking/playing. I didn’t have to spend time squishing these reeds to a usable opening. They were very easy to control for me.
I have brought some of these redds recently. Very well made, will good tone. excellent personalised service and prompt delivery. Will use these again
David’s reeds are very well made and work well in my Buffet Greenline. I have only had three reeds from him but all worked well and produced a good warm sound in my oboe as they were quite wide shaped “big” reeds which it likes. I think David uses a Greenline as well so knows what matches these instruments.
The craftmanship is very good – well gouged, shaped, tied on and scarped – and the price and time of delivery very reasonable.
Thank you David I’ll be back when I need you!
