a word from our customers:
Finest oboe reeds I have ever played. It has been a while since I played a reed
so well in tune. Thank you, Thank you!
Congratulations, you are now my new reed supplier.
Frank
Beaumont, TX
I played a concert on one of the oboe reeds
the day they arrived. It is so comforting to
know that I have some reeds in my box that I can count on when either my gouging machine
or my reedmaking skills get wacky!
Sue
Forest Hills, NY
My last three reeds that you sent in December were
PERFECT!
I have gotten so many comments on how good I sound. I'm
ordering more now so that I don't have to treat the three
I have like they're made out of diamonds!
Lisa
Midlothian, VA
I must say that the 10 pro oboe reeds I just received from MKL are AMAZING! I have never seen such
consistency, tone, intonation, and projection. Absolutely fantastic!
Chris
Valdosta, GA
I have to say that this reed is probably one of the best sounding reeds I have
played. I will definitely be ordering more in the future.
Laura
Glen Ridge, NJ
Your "regular reed" is the best I have ever played on and I would like to order two more.
Jonathan
Bala Cynwyd, PA
I just wanted to acknowledge the recent order, and thank you for the superb reeds. I've been
using your reeds for about six months now, and they've been great sounding and very reliable.

Imagine...
Picking any one of the oboe reeds in your reed box with
100% confidence that it will get
the job done.
You soak it, put it in your oboe, and can play any note from top to bottom with
ease. Not to mention that your tone sounds smoother and more focused than ever before.
If this sounds like something you haven't experienced in a while, or ever, you need
to play our oboe reeds.
It's All About the Oboe Reed. (Almost...)
Let's face it. Oboists need great reeds. The reasons are simple:
A great oboe reed builds the foundation for good oboe playing - it
prevents certain
bad habits which can come from trying to compensate for a bad reed.
With a great reed, you can just
sit down and play - you can spend your time
focusing on what you want: like making music.
You must have a great reed! So where do you get one...?
MKL Reeds Delivers

A stable and dependable oboe reed, flexible enough for anything from long tones to
orchestral repertoire. A beautiful, full sound, in any register, that responds when
you need it to.
Students - You get the
freedom to concentrate on playing the oboe, not on playing the reed.

peace of mind that comes with knowing you have good reeds in your case.
Freedom and Peace of Mind... All From Your Oboe Reeds.
How can you be
sure we know what we're talking about...?
We've Walked in Your Shoes.
All MKL Oboe Reeds are handmade by a professional oboist who knows the demands of playing the oboe.
You can probably relate to one or more of these things:
Playing in an Orchestra
Playing Chamber Music
Teaching
Being a Student
Well, we can relate to all of them because we have done (and still do) each one. We
know what works, and
your reed will benefit from our experience.
In addition, we've freelanced in some of the toughest music scenes in the country.
A freelancer's job is this: to sit down in a different chair, in a different setting,
with a different group of people, day after day - and create a beautiful sound, on time, every time.
Whether it be the world's finest symphony hall or a tiny church sanctuary,
an oboe reed must deliver. MKL Reeds do just that.
