I’ve linked to some of the places I regularly get supplies for reed making below, since proper equipment can make the process significantly easier. Feel free to contact me if you have specific questions! I worked as a reedmaker for some time and made 10,000 reeds a year, so I value tools that make the process easier and faster.

Ann Hodge— great swabs

Boston Double Reeds — repair services and custom cases

Double or Nothing Reeds— great equipment and seller of a wide variety of Chiarugi oboe staples

Forrests Music— seller of everything, with a good section of repair tools

Midwest Musical Imports— seller of everything!

RDG Woodwinds — oboes and equipment

Roger Miller— sells fantastic burnishing rods for honing reed knives

Squirreley Stash— wonderfully dyed reed thread
