Advanced–Plays Most days–Used 2-5 reedmakers–Reedmaking: Buy but adjust
I recently ordered student reeds I didn’t expect them to be fantastic, just decent. However this was not the case. The two reeds I received (even after being soaked in hot water) were so closed down and the sides so loose to the point I could barely play. Definitely would NOT recommend student reeds, but perhaps her other reeds might be better. Either way extremely disappointed.

I had a bit of an accident with these reeds, but my more skilled friend (we are students) uses these, and her sound is wonderful and professional!

I am quite happy with Double Reed Girl’s reeds and would recommend them. However, on her web site, when ordering reeds, she gives five shapes without an explanation as to what the shape names mean. I wrote and asked her. The following is her reply:
“Gilbert -1N: the narrowest of the shapes I offer, good for someone who needs the reed to sit up in pitch and likes a smaller opening
Gilbert -1: a bit wider than the -1N, this is the shape I use most often because of its stability
Mack +: similar to the Gilbert -1, with more flare at the tip
Caleb -1: has a “bellied” or “contoured” shape, good for dark tone, tends to be a bit more open and full to play
Caleb: the widest of the shapes I offer, this is contoured as is the Caleb -1, tends to be lower in pitch with a full, dark sound”
I am assuming that this is not proprietary information. I certainly would never have ordered without it. It is wonderful that she is willing to give her customers the choice of five shapes but it is even better knowing what they mean.

P.S. Her site says that she sells english horn reeds as well.

Very fine reeds with a lovely dark timbre – quite easy blowing. Alyssa is very accomodating and has a nice range of reed types to choose from.
