~Double Reed Suppliers~

Below are Companies that specialize in double reed instruments and supplies. You may request a catalogue from any of these companies to compare prices and products. Reeds purchased from these companies are mostly hand made, and will be of higher quality than a mass-produced, store-bought reed.

When purchasing Oboes or English Horns, I would HIGHLY suggest that you do so from a company which specializes in Double Reeds. These companies usually guarantee that each instrument has been played by a professional and checked for proper regulation, etc. Some of the more diverse companies send out instruments which have not been played, and therefore not regulated. In many cases, these instruments must be sent back or to a repair shop for adjustment. Most of the companies listed below are small, in-house shops owned and operated by a single person. Any time I have called with questions, I have found the owners very personable and helpful. Companies marked with a (*) are companies I have personally dealt with and can recommend in full confidence. The others are well known companies that I found online or that advertise in the International Double Reed Society's periodical, "The Double Reed".
