Reliable and quick if when I needed them. She took back any bad reeds. They all needed a fair amount of adjustment though.

I will no longer order from Stellar. The reeds I recieved were fine, but this past time something went wrong with the order. I have tried multiple times to contact them over the past week, but no one has ever called me back. It has been incredibly frustrating.

I’ve used Stellar Oboe reeds for about a year (starting with the student models and now use the pro versions) and highly recommend them. The majority have been fantastic. I receive them every month and look forward to every new box. On occasion, I’ve receive one I didn’t like, and they’ve replaced it quickly. If you are looking for consistency and high quality, this is the place.

I love Amy’s reeds!! As with all good reeds, you have to break them in and adjust them as needed (clip the tip, thin the tip, scrape out of the heart, etc). Perfect reeds are EXTREMELY hard to come by. Every piece of cane is different. If you want a completely finished reed, you have to order the professional, but you will still have to break them in. She makes them to order. Tell her in the comment space she has for ordering reeds how you like it…easy, somewhat resistant, etc. She’s awesome!!! Her reeds have lots of guts, with control and a dark sound. I will always support Stellar Oboe Products because of the quality of her work

I bought two professional oboe reeds with Sierra Brass Staple.

It was “guaranteed” and was supposed to have great dynamic range, tuned, etc.

However, one of the reeds was very sloppily tied, and both were in need of adjustment.

I have tried many different kinds of reeds and found these to be the most consistent. I have finally found the company for me

I tried everyone and these reeds are the only consistent ones I’ve been able to find. The student reeds are great for my kids (pitch and sound!). I play on the pro reeds with the chudnow corkless staple. They are awesome. They ship me reeds automatically every month so I don’t have to order. I’ve had a couple crack but they always replaced them for free. Try them out!
