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).

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!

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.

I am quite happy with Double Reed Girl’s reeds and would recommend them. However, on her web site, when ordering reeds, she gives five shapes without an explanation as to what the shape names mean. I wrote and asked her. The following is her reply:
“Gilbert -1N: the narrowest of the shapes I offer, good for someone who needs the reed to sit up in pitch and likes a smaller opening
Gilbert -1: a bit wider than the -1N, this is the shape I use most often because of its stability
Mack +: similar to the Gilbert -1, with more flare at the tip
Caleb -1: has a “bellied” or “contoured” shape, good for dark tone, tends to be a bit more open and full to play
Caleb: the widest of the shapes I offer, this is contoured as is the Caleb -1, tends to be lower in pitch with a full, dark sound”
I am assuming that this is not proprietary information. I certainly would never have ordered without it. It is wonderful that she is willing to give her customers the choice of five shapes but it is even better knowing what they mean.

P.S. Her site says that she sells english horn reeds as well.
Very fine reeds with a lovely dark timbre – quite easy blowing. Alyssa is very accomodating and has a nice range of reed types to choose from.
