Hi! Welcome to MKL Reeds. My name is Maryn Leister. I am a graduate of the Juilliard Pre-College Division and the Eastman School of Music, where I was a student of Richard Killmer. After graduating from college, I lived in Nashville, TN, then headed to Knoxville, TN, New York City, and finally Chicago.
I have played with the Nashville Symphony, Huntsville Symphony, Alabama Symphony, Florida Philharmonic and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
Right now, home for me is Sedona Arizona, where I live with my husband, five kids and cute dogs Finn, Bella, Macy, Annie and Basil.
The reason I started this company is plain and simple:
Oboists need reeds.
And good reeds don’t grow on trees.
This is where we come in…
We make great reeds so you don’t have to.
We can make a reed so you can work on playing the oboe and making music. After all, that is really what you want to do, right?
Our goal is to be THE #1 OBOE REED COMPANY ON THE PLANET!
To do that, we have to WOW you at every opportunity. If you’re ready to give us our first chance to do that, then click on the link below:

How do you know if you'll like an oboe reed before you play it? You can't. When the rubber finally hits the road, it hardly matters if the reed is a great one, perfectly customized to your every desire, if it just plain doesn't work well for you.
