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 love Joe’s reeds. They are pretty much plug & play for me, although I do run into a few squirrels now and then. He is pretty consistent and turn around is quick, usually a week. I recommend him for someone of my level.
First off, I have never tried the reeds advertised here. That said, I find it hard to believe that six reviewers all believe it’s the holy grail of oboe reeds. It just seems kinda fishy to me.
Also, try clicking on Jane’s name, it’s linked to an interesting site.
Joe’s reeds are about as good as you can expect if you aren’t making your own. They are in tune and last. Also, Joe makes every effort to get his reeds sent in a timely manner.
I tried two – one medium and one medium hard. I really like the medium. Very in tune and great tone. I plan to get all my reeds from Joe as long as he is willing to supply them.
awesome reeds…i just got one to start with and it was perfect!! i had a concert last night and got tons of compliments on my tone because of this reed!!! i would definately recommend these!
Didn’t care for his reeds at all – tried two each of two different hardnesses. Tried adjusting, but never got them to work well for me for the price.
they are the best reeds i have ever used. they are good to play high and low. i have played many pieces in ease with them. they are also very durable and the tthread colors are very unique.
Really nice reeds. In tune, dark without being muffled and dull. Project well but still are easy to play quietly. Very fast shipping and resonable prices. I love the colors of thread also!
