“Excellent service! The reeds are responsive with a warm sound. Most importantly, they are consistent. When I order from Steve I know what I’m getting which makes playing so much more enjoyable.”

Chris Rawley. London based freelancer

“Steve’s reeds are amazing. After 30 years of making my own reeds I have changed to Steve’s reeds and it has improved my playing by leaps and bounds. Incredibly well made they have giving me the ability to have the sound I want without sacrificing any flexibility. Very little work is required to get the reeds to where I need them to be. Highly recommend!”

Thomas Greaves. Assistant Soloist bassoon, Barcelona Symphony Orchestra

“Really happy with my first order from Steve's Reeds! Since the different shapes were new to me, I ordered some SR2's and some SR3's. The reeds arrived within 2 weeks and the day after receiving them, I already played a delicate concert on one of them. Very consistent quality troughout the whole shipment - I'll be back for more!!”

“Steve is a fantastic bassoonist and a great and innovative reed maker. I order reeds from him on occasion to check out the new things he has been experimenting with. The last few were so good, I have incorporated some of his reed design into a reed style I’m making. I highly recommend his reeds!”
