Product Review

Professional-level reeds, made in the American style, with blended scrape; V shaped tip (somewhat horizontal, like in the picture), ample heart, thick and strong spine and side rails, and well defined windows which blend into the heart. They are very comfortable, with a stable pitch, outstanding low and high registers, dark sound and great projection. They seem to fit better advanced students and pro players. When finished, the length of the reeds is 56mm so they can produce a "C#" crow at 4.40. We use the "Giacobassi" shape, and RDG's brass staples. The diameter of the tube cane used is 12-12.5mm. Only vintage Gonzalez cane (harvest 2005) is used to manufacture these reeds. For a 4.40 pitch, please use bocals number 2 or 3. As an oboe and E. horn player, you know how delicate new reeds are. Reeds are very sensitive to moisture, dry weather, change of temperature and altitude, and various other factors that might change your reeds' characteristics over time and also during shipping. Therefore, this implies that you be open to minor adjustments so the reeds perfectly adjust to your personal playing characteristics. These reeds are guaranteed for any kinds of structural deficiencies. If you find anything wrong with them within 14 days, you are welcome to send them back, and we'll be happy to replace them for you, as long as the reed has not been scraped or modified. We will not take back any reeds that have been scraped on or modified in any way.
