Reviews around money (5.00 of 5)

  • You should put a money back guarantee for some period of time on your reeds.
  • She's been playing on school instruments as we haven't had enough money to buy her one of her own, of course she'd have to pick one of the more expensive harder to come by instruments
  • Don't waste your money on it.

Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • These are a good value reed, but they have definite limitations.
  • As someone who has not really entered into the world of making my own reeds yet, I have found this 'ready made' reed excellent value and recommend it highly.
  • These reeds are not the greatest reeds in the world, but you aren't paying for the greatest reeds either, hence, I believe we are getting very good value for the money

  • Jones reeds in both series have fantastically accurate tuning in all strengths.
  • They are made well and just need fine tuning
  • A decent intermediate reed after a little fine tuning

Reviews around sound (4.03 of 5)

  • this made no sound and had cracks
  • Each of the five 101 medium-hard "red" reeds I just bought play BEAUTIFULLY out of their boxes, they make a very joyous, bright, relatively loud tone, and best of all, my church's music director loves their sound!

Reviews around work (4.03 of 5)

  • The other one works great, but like I said; I am sure this is due to the way it was packaged and the lack of protection in the box.
  • The hassle of returns/refunds and paying up front for several reeds hoping I get one that works is frustrating
  • So, the reeds that came in good condition worked fine for a beginning oboe player
  • It was received in about 8 days, was exactly as stated and has worked well.

Reviews around oboe (3.95 of 5)

  • reeds (the "purple" series with purple strings), which are initially machine-made but then hand-shaved and tested with a top professional Loree oboe before shipping.
  • my girl plays oboe, and busts a lot of reeds, but these are her favorite.
  • No sound came off it, wasnt my oboe since it worked perfectly with my other reeds
  • It's a pretty good oboe reed to start out with, but not bad for a stocked reed.

Reviews around ship (3.61 of 5)

  • Excellent quality, fast shipping
  • They are really tiny and when shipped in larger boxes, they get lost and fall out
  • Needless to say, I doubt I will ever buy my reeds online again, as apparently it is impossible to get good reeds shipped, at least from this seller.
  • Good price fast shipping

Reviews around quality (3.12 of 5)

  • The good reed however plays wonderfully an has a great tone quality!!
  • Excellent quality as always, a good softness for someone just starting or getting back into, very forgiving.
  • Good quality, price, and a couple months later, still working!
  • These are very poor quality and likely a total waste of your money.
  • After trying many different brands of ready made reeds, I have come back to Jones, as the longest lasting, and most consistent quality.

Reviews around reed knife (1.00 of 5)

  • If you don't have a reed knife, you can use a razor blade or a box cutter
  • Buy the Jones reeds and use your reed knife to adjust the reed
  • Make sure to buy a sharpening stone for your reed knife, as well as a SHARP razor blade or it will RIP your reed apart, literally
