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.

A band director told me about Lyn Davies reeds several years ago when I moved to Knoxville. I am a terrible reed maker (bassoon or oboe) so I need something that will play without adjustment. I have found these reeds to be excellent–in tune, good fairly dark tone, stable. I buy at the store, but I know Rush’s will mail to anywhere in the country. By the way, they also have one of the best double reed repairmen in the country, Bruce McCall. Well worth shipping your instrument to him if you want super repair work. You can call them at 865-573-4138.

These reeds are by far the best I have ever found! With my busy schedule, I don’t always have time to make reeds for students and Lyn Davies’ reeds are perfect. They have a rich, dark tone, with good stability and pitch. I was so glad to hear about the Rush vendor, as I have been trying to get them from Covey for 2 weeks now. Don’t know what’s going on, but am thrilled to have finally ordered these gems!! I highly recommend them for students, high school band directors, and have even used them for myself!

I use to order the teal colored reeds from Covey, but I would also order the lime green from Rush. The lime green seemed to work really well for 2nd oboe parts…Very impressed with them both!! Thank you for taking the time to make them!!!

Thanks for the nice feedback. My reeds are now sold by Rush’s Musical Services (865 573 4138). Please contact them for prompt service. My other vendor is temporarily closed for unknown reasons.
