"Playing on Forestone reeds is a great pleasure. In my experience, this is the best reed made from a composite material that I have ever tried. I am eagerly awaiting the introduction of Forestone reeds for saxophone. Congratulations on a great product."

"Reeds are part of a wind player's life. Without a great reed, there is no great sound. I read the article about Forestone in March 2009 journal The Clarinet. I had always been hesitant about trying a composite reed, but the article prompted me to give it a try. To my surprise, I was very impressed with how sensitive and lively the reed was. It gave great sound with less effort. After performing with the reed several times, I found that I have more confidence in my sound and therefore play my instrument better. When you can believe in your reed, you can have a great sound. Forestone reeds give me both the confidence to have a great sound and a great performance."

"Again I took my clarinet out of the case and put it together but there was no need to remove the Forestone reed or change its placement. I just put the clarinet in my mouth and started playing as if I had warmed up and chosen a reed and fiddled with it. But I had not done any of that. I am thrilled to report that the Forestone reed responds exactly as a good cane reed does. This is the finest composite reed that I have ever come across."

"I just wanted to say how thrilled I am with your reeds. These are the best reeds I have ever played on. It gave me great pleasure to put my many boxes of unused cane reeds into the cupboard. Just to know that when I put the reed on my mouthpiece it's going to respond and sound great has given me so much confidence that I'm playing better and more consistently than ever before -- and its all thanks to you."

"I am exceptionally pleased with Forestone reeds. All claims have proven true. I tried composite reeds in the past and was never really satisfied. I have so far recommended Forestone reeds to over two dozen clarinetists who are very interested in using them. Thank you for providing an exceptional and first-rate product."

"The minute I first tried Forestone, I quickly realized that I'd finally found a composite reed that can stand together and compete with cane. Response in all the registers is excellent, dynamic range is just great, and after hours of playing, these reeds keep their consistency and full-color qualities. The sound is so warm and mellow, staccato can be played easily and with great sonority in all registers, and intonation is spot on. I get a good feeling playing on Forestone reeds and I would advise all clarinetists around the world to try them because I believe these reeds will change their musical lives."

"Forestone is the first composite reed that has ever worked for me. The reeds are outstanding on the mouthpiece I’ve been using for the past 15 years. And they play great on the clarinet mouthpieces that we make too."
