About the Owners
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.
In addition to the symphony, I also love to play chamber music and give recitals.
I often perform with my husband, an organist, and am a founding member of the
baroque ensemble, Camerata Fucsia.
Right now, home for me is Flagstaff Arizona, where I live with my husband, three kids
and cute dogs Cruz and Bella.
About MKL Reeds
The reason we 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?
That's all there is to it. Just click below to get started.
