Where to Buy Reeds
Bassoon Reeds
Oboe Reeds
English Horn Reeds
- CB Reeds & Tools by Cullen Blain - Beginners can get the student reed (worth the wait!). I use the standard reed.
- Forrests Music - the "Forrests Gold Label" or "Albion Blue Label" are inexpensive and good
- Raffe Reeds by Eryn Oft
- Bel Canto Reeds
- Tiger Reeds
Oboe Reeds
- Oxford Reeds - Made in Georgia by Rebecca Testerman
- James Sullivan Oboe Reeds - Nice and open reeds, warm sound.
- Edmund Nielson Woodwinds - Middle schoolers should get "medium" or "medium hard" (go with medium hard if they are flat in band class) in green, purple, and black thread colors. For the professional level reeds, I recommend the white or blue thread.
- Weber Reeds - student and intermediate reeds for middle-schoolers, professional for high school and older. I've played the Mimosa and Sandia reeds for performances. Fast shipping.
- Double Reed Girl - Made in Florida by Alyssa McKeithen - easy to play right away. Made to order, so takes about 2.5 weeks in the mail.
- MKL Reeds - Expensive, but great. Fast shipping, can return and exchange after playing the reed if you don't like it. I use these. "Blue dot" and "triple yellow dot" reeds are good.
