I have to buy reeds for my 2 daughter's clarient and oboe. Does anyone know of a reputable online store I can purchase these at a good price? Thanks!

We're brass players, but Woodwind and Brasswind has a great reputation: http://www.wwbw.com/Reeds-Woodwind-Accessories1.wwbw

Lou's Reeds for a harder rock sound.

Jerry's Reeds for more of a country vibe.

(Sorry for the silliness. I hope you get some useful suggestions.)

This is a local store in MN that has a HUGE selection of everything music. You can order online or by calling them too. This store has been around forever. We usually get everything through them-have to run up there today as a matter of fact to get DD's saxophone repaired.

Thanks guys! I think I am going to go with them and I can get free shipping on orders of $49 or more. Awesome!

We usually order Sax reeds from www.music123.com or www.musiciansfriend.com They have always been cheaper than buying them locally.

Oboe reeds:

My son has been playing oboe for 6 years. If you are a strong oboe student, you can/should make them yourselves. However, my son isn't that great at making the reeds so we do still purchase them. Supplies to make your own reeds are pretty costly as well.

We buy Marlin Lesher brand reeds from wwbw.com. The price is reasonable and shipping is quick. He uses med. hard/hard but IIRC soft should be used for beginners.

Oboe reeds are much more expensive than clarinet reeds. A clarinet reed box was about $4/5 (when my daughter played a few years ago). However, oboe reeds are about $8 - $25 EACH.

Remember oboe reeds are fragile, so if they crack they are unusable. If you take private oboe lessons, the instructor can make them and you can buy from them.

My son doesn't like Emerald or Jones brand reeds. He likes Marlin Lesher and Fox. (usually Marlin he likes better). There are others W something (Washington, Worthington--maybe) that he said were crap..

My boyfriend uses those sights to buy saxophone reeds and has never had any problems.
