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...

I have tried Meredeth’s oboe, English horn, and oboe d’amore reeds. All are consistent and play well. I have performed the Bach A major oboe d’amore concerto on these reeds, and the English horn solos from New World Symphony and Mahler Symphony no. 3 on her reeds as well. I am currently waiting for another shipment. I highly recommend these!

I agree — these are excellent reeds, the best I’ve found on the Web in the last couple of years!!
I’ve never used these reeds before, but it has gotten a lot of good comments, so I might give it a shot. I’ve been using Duste reeds, which are of fine quality and produce a warm tone quality. I’m surprised that Duste isn’t on your list, because it should be. Not to show off or anything, but I was for chair oboist in All-State this year. WOOT-WOOT!!!!!!!!
I like Meredith’s reeds a lot. They are not “perfect for me” when I get them, but very rarely does that ever happen. I let the reeds sit and settle for a while if I can’t use them right away. Usually, they will be just fine and need only minimal tinkering. Again, I know it is almost impossible to get the “perfect” reed delivered to your door. To me, “minimal tinkering” means an great reed has been sent to me.
I cannot say enough good things about Meredeth Rouse and Back Bay Reeds. The reeds I receive from her are consistently of the very highest quality. I can only speak to her Professional Quality reeds. They are simple wonderful. I am now a “subscription reed purchaser” of Back Bay Reeds.
