Meet Our Notable Team of Oboists

What makes Double or Nothing Reeds different? Plain and simple, it’s our team!  James, Julie, Russ, Phil, and Erica have performed together professionally for decades. Throughout this time, their congruent playing style, philosophy, common teachers, friendship, and passion for teaching have brought them together, forming a powerhouse resource for fellow oboists – Double or Nothing Reeds.

With education at the forefront of our mission, Double or Nothing Reeds strives to sell reasonably priced, top-quality, hand-crafted reeds as well as products that have been personally hand selected. Additionally, our summer camp, Southern Oboe Intensive, provides hands-on experience for oboists of all abilities and age ranges.

"The reeds (oboe) arrived yesterday and I tried them all today. They are wonderful. Besides the fact that they all play, I love the colored string. White is boring! Thanks so much."

Ruth Mock Oboist

"I like your (oboe) reeds because they sound nice and are easier to play than store-bought reeds. They make the oboe fun to play"

Annie Gordon Winds Teaching Artist at MYCincinnati www.mycincinnatiorchestra.org

I was so impressed with the first reeds I got from you - dark tone, hard cane and relative ease of playing. I also appreciate that your tips are not too open. They are worth the wait.

Amy Richter Music Teacher

You gals sounded great at IDRS. It is always good to know that those who make the reeds also play very well on them. We are pleased to carry your reeds at Gail Warnaar Double Reed Shop and invite your customers to visit our new web catalog.

Gail Warnaar www.DoubleReedShop.com

I found your reeds to be responsive, warm in tone, and very stable!! You are amazingly prompt, and the reeds are extremely well priced for such great quality.
