Dear Miriam, Carol and list,
I have just received reeds from Meg Cassel at www.goodtoneguild.com and
wanted to Thank you Miriam and Carol for reffering me to order from Meg.
For starters Meg made me feel like a special costumer, gave me her devoted
full attention, listened carefuly, asked me questions and knew what I was
looking for. But again i must say I was really impressed with the fact that
she was very friendly and I didnt feel like i was buying from her for the
first time.
Second, the reeds were awesome!!! Just as everyone else said. They are
amazing! I have ordered reeds from all over the world and always had to send
them back for touch up. It's so comforting to know that now I do have great
reeds to play on. I thought about switching to flute so that I dont have to
deal with reeds again in my life. But now thanks to Meg's reeds I'm
practising again.
Sorry for taking everyone's time but I really think those of you who dont
make your own reeds and are frustrated like I was should know about this.
Happy Reeds
Sameer Al-ABdullah
=I've been using Good Tone Guild reeds; Margaret (Meg) Cassell is in New
Mexico, and it's quite dry there. I'm in Wisconsin where we have high
humidity during the summer, usually, and the reeds seem to change a lot for
me.
They are exchangable if they don't work out for you, and last a long time,
but also require some breaking in time (a week) before they become flexible.
I recommend the number 4's tied in red thread which work pretty well for me,
but I've also had to alter my embouchure, and it has helped in endurance
which was always a problem for me.
Maybe she would give you a longer trial period. You can order from the web
site; http://www.goodtoneguild.com/
Had a good Independence Day concert on a reed I made myself. Now I'm kicking
myself that I didn't have it prepared ahead for the rehearsal. One more
concert on Sunday!
