Crap reeds. Very thin at the tip, leek, do not transition from high to low well. Bought four and not one was made well and all played with a horrible sound. Pretty colors if that’s what’s important.
Made well and usually in tune – last a long time. I like the colors they come in! I use the medium-hard reeds and they feel more “comfortable” than other reeds I’ve tried. I can also get these stocked at Collins Music Store, instead or ordering direct (at same price, less shipping).
I ordered these reeds for my daughter after having trouble with Advantage reeds leaking air and wearing out quickly. Advantage did give good warranty but you spent alot of time talking to them about the problems and exchanging. These singin dog reeds came in about 10 days and my daughter loves them. She says they work great, sound great and are lasting longer. Just in time for a state solo contest.
I find the Singin’ Dog medium-hard professional reeds play right out of the box, and last longer than others I’ve bought. And they are consistent throughout the range of the instrument, speaking as easily for a low B flat as for a high G.
Singin’ dog reeds are the only reeds I will ever buy again. They are very consistent: high quality, excellent tone, and very long-lasting all at a reasonable price ($15). After trying so many other reed companies, it is a relief to finally find one I can depend on. I especially recommend the medium soft.
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...

These reeds play well at first but quickly become unstable.
