From my Customers -
Kerry -
Just a quick note to tell you thanks for the two reeds you made for me. I just returned from the UNC Chamber Music Workshop, where I had a great time and was able to keep playing pretty much non-stop all week ! I couldn't have done it without your help. .... Although I do not now have regular performance opportunities where I live, I have been encouraged to perhaps create some. I now know someone to turn to when I need reed help. Thanks again so very much. - Susan J

I received my reeds from you today (three oboe, three English horn) and, as it now
stands, these are the finest reeds that I've ever played. I'm a doubler and I really
don't have the time to make reeds. I can't imagine using any
other reeds but yours. Although this was my first order from you, it certainly won't
be my last. - Steve Reisteter, Allentown Band
Hi Kerry,
Well - I have received the 4 reeds and I have tried them all and they
are.......................REALLY GREAT !!!!!!
I truly appreciate the care you obviously take in producing a quality
reed - they really work for me. The type of scrape you use produces a very
good, even sound for me and my oboe. It was amazing that ALL FOUR reeds
have produced an excellent sound. - Nina Woulff, Wyndrock Quintet
Hi Kerry - Just a note to let you know that I just "adjusted" one of the reeds I purchased from you. I logged on to your website, and clicked on the adjustment portion. After following your directions, I played the reed, and it plays so well! It is much easier to play, and sounds so good! So, thanks so much for producing such great reeds, and providing explicit directions to adjust them! - S.A. (initials by request)
