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.
