Customers' Comments
"Thank you so much for the reeds you made me! They really are brilliant, exactly what I was hoping for. They arrived today and I have had a wonderful time playing them. The time just flew by!"
"The reed arrived on Friday and have been using it lots over the weekend. I would like to thank you for a really prompt and professional service and an excellent quality and beautifully made reed"
"Just to say that the reeds arrived and play beautifully thank you! I can't remember the last time I ordered a reed that looked so carefully made too!"
"Just to let you know I'm very pleased with the two reeds you sent at the end of last month. I've tried them under solo and orchestral conditions: the tuning is good and so also is the 'richness' of sound even on my relatively lightweight oboe."
"Many thanks reed received and my granddaughter is very impressed and thinks it is amazing she is about to take her grade 8 exam. We will carry on doing business with you, thanks again."
"Many thanks for the oboe reeds. I am very pleased with them."
"The reeds arrived today, very quick service, Thank you."
"Just received your professional reeds and they are really good. Thanks! Looking forward to buy from you again :)"
"Thank you very much for the reed I ordered about 2 weeks ago. I can now say that it is probably the best I have encountered: tuning is perfect and gives a far richer sound than the rather 'thin' sounding reeds I have been using."
"The reeds arrived today. I have already practiced with one of them. It is the first time that I have managed to produce such a nice rich sound without too much effort (I learnt to play in the seventies and have only taken it up again in the last 12 months). I think my teacher will be impressed. Thanks again."
"Thanks! They’re brilliant! Intonation is fab, they’re easy to blow and they really suit me."
"Thanks David - the reeds arrived safe and well today. Paul's very pleased with the sound they make so we'll definitely come back to you in the future and recommend you to his oboe teacher!"
"I am so glad to play on your very well done reed. I feel so comfortable when I play. It is stable and controllable and the sound looks warm and steady. Actually I sent my old student your web site, and I recommended your reeds to them."
"Dear David, I have just received the reed you made for me and I am so delighted with it. After a quick soak it played so beautifully that it has restored my enthusiasm. I will definitely be coming back for more."
"David - many thanks for the reeds, they sound really nice & exactly the type of thing I was hoping for."
"That leads me to repeat a big thankyou for those MS reeds, David. They have really helped me to articulate the 3rd octave with less angst than I usually have! Super, throughout the range."
"Thank you for the reeds – they are great."
"I've been playing on the reeds and must say that I'm very impressed indeed. They are just the right strength, I thought at first that they might be a bit on the soft side but I can really push them and they are comfortable for fast tonguing too. (My Achilles Heel).
The tone fits exactly with my oboe and general ambience so I think you might be hearing from me again! Are all your reeds like this or did you just manage to perfectly gauge what I needed?"
"I've been practicing on your reeds tonight - they're lovely! I did need to scrape them a tiny bit but they sound great and I can get all the high notes out much easier than on the chinese reeds. I'll definitely be a regular customer."
"WOW.
Your reeds are an absolute delight.
Three reeds ordered and three reeds play wonderfully; I am extremely happy!
I have never known this with any other reed order!
Thank you for your excellent customer care and I’ll be ordering again shortly."
"I want to let you know that your reeds have been a blessing since I moved abroad to work 2 yrs ago. With a full time job I have no time to make my own reeds. I have tried many different sources and yours are the best and the most consistent reeds that I can find."
