Where to Order Handmade Reeds

Note:  Reeds are made to order and can take 2+ weeks to arrive, so always order before you actually need them!  Many places have a reed subscription or auto-ship service (I order 2-3 reeds per month for myself to avoid reed emergencies).  Though I am able to make reeds, making them for all of my students is too time-consuming!  I suggest ordering from the places below - I am always ordering from new reed-makers and updating this list so you don't have to do the guesswork.

​Oboe/EH Reeds
Check the top of your child's assignment sheet for the updated list!

Bassoon Reeds
  • Forrests Music
    • For 6th/7th grade beginners:  "Forrests Gold Label" or "Albion Blue Label" (medium soft or medium)
    • For auditioning middle schoolers and high schoolers:  the "Forrests Black Label" (I use medium soft)
    • For oboists doubling on bassoon, I recommend a smaller/narrower "Philadelphia style" reed.
  • Cullen Blain Reeds 
  • Tom Hardy Reeds - from London, and excellent audition reeds!
  • LC Double Reeds
  • Tiger Reeds
  • Bocal Majority "Medium" Reeds - these also come in fun themes...Star Wars, Zelda, holidays, etc.
