Plastic Replacement Reeds

Original replacement reeds are in stock for Wood-style instruments. When
ordering, specify: maker, pitch, voice of instrument and send instrument.
If you do not send instrument with order, you need to be prepared
to tune the reed and touch up tuning with your instrument yourself
(if we do it, it's free plus shipping--turn around is usually short).

Custom Made Reeds

 Many problems
can be solved by a good reed. Cane Reeds are hand made for all early
instruments. Plastic, custom reeds can be made for most instruments.
Plastic reeds are not better than cane by any means. There is a trade off.
Cane sounds better. Plastic on the other hand, requires little to no maintenance,
and no pre-soaking. It is perfect for academic music programs, i.e., students
with little or no double reed background. The actual instrument is needed
in order to assure proper tuning and reed quality. When sending an instrument,
state the pitch of the instrument (include the instrument). The turn around
time is very short, usually within 5-10 working days.
