<<< listing title: "Three Great Hand-Finished Oboe Reeds by Brian Charles"
seller name: charles*double*reed*company
right now, he's got three reeds going for $7.50 (that $7.50 for THREE, not $7.50 each)

...

Brian Charles is the proprietor of a major double reed supplier on the East Coast. Totally reputable. Can't go wrong with either of these folks. >>>

Okay, is this "Brian Charles with the Charles Double Reed Company" affiliated with the Charles Music/Charles Double Reed online? Is it the same guy/people? Because I don't see reeds on their website going for 3/$7.50--their reeds go for $9.00 each.

http://www.charlesmusic.com/cgi-bin/theo?action=category&main_category=Reeds&sub_category=Oboe%20Reeds

How can he possibly be selling reeds 3 for $7.50? Is it possible it's a typo? Everywhere I look on the Internet, even the El Cheapo mass-produced-by-Chinese-slave-labor reeds go for more than that. I'd tend to be suspicious of reeds that were way cheaper than usual. Generally speaking, "you get what you pay for".

And, "if something seems too good to be true--it is."  ;)

I'm such a cynic.
