These got me out of a few jams! One was amazing. The flutist next to me bent it after about two days.

When i’m a beginner for oboe, i used Jones reeds. And it’s really hard to blow.
After quite a while, my instructor bought me Grahams reeds to try on. At first, I was not adjusted to the reed. But after blowing for several times, i found that it was easier to blow!

Now that my only Grahams reed was spoilt, i tried using back Jones reed, and it really was so hard to blow that i couldn’t even pitch the high notes. Sometimes i also could feel that my lips were very pain.

So now, i told my instructor to get Grahams reed instead of Jones reed. (:

I purchased nearly 10 of these reeds when I was in high school. They gave me a pretty good sound. I would recommend these reeds to ANYONE who doesn’t have time to make their own, or if they are a young student.

I love these reeds! They produce a nice even tone and I’ve never bought a flawed one.

I ordered 3 reeds from them and 1 out of the 3 played well. The other 2 reeds openings were to closed and sounded really flat and didn’t sound out any low notes.

I play principal chair oboe in the South Dakota Symphony, and these reeds make a beautiful sound. Tone quality is smooth and even. Out of the 4 reeds that I myself have ordered, they were all very consistant.

The best commercially avaliable oboe reeds! A warm sound, good response, and excellent stability.
