    Long-lasting
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019*

I'm an amateur oboist - I play in a local quartet and a symphonic band ensemble, occasionally in orchestras or larger projects. My practice is light; maybe 3-4 times a week, 1-2 hours at a time. These reeds last for months and are ready to play and broken in within the first hour of practice. Consistently great tone. I don't know what kind of superbamboo these are made of, but they don't fray or crack or chip. I soak in regular water before playing, and store in an aerated reed case. I'm on my third of these and have been using my current one for a shocking 9 months. I can still hit my full range of notes, my full range of dynamics. In month 9 here, it's starting to go a little sharp on me and the lowest notes are getting harder to attack, so I'm about ready to move on to the backup I've already bought of these. Highly recommended if your practice and your budget are like mine. I appreciate not having to replace it after 2-3 weeks, like local hand-made reeds, and the longevity is blowing me away - or rather I am ;-).

    Really improved my son's tone...
  

*by A***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2020*

My 12-year-old son has been playing oboe for around two years and his tone has been improving but he had reached a plateau.  He had been using Jones medium-soft reeds, just the base model.  But we switched up to the medium-hard and Artist series and we can really hear an improvement in tone.  He is struggling with the airflow a little with the harder reed but we think that will improve with practice.We would not recommend this reed for a beginner player, start off with a softer reed.  But as you reach a plateau, don't be afraid to move up to a hard, more quality reed.It is a few dollars more but worth the price.Now that he is comfortable with it I will be buying some spares...

    Jones JR101AM Reeds Are Significantly Superior to the Red String JR101M Reeds
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2017*

This was our first foray into the "Jones JR101AM Artist Oboe Reed; Medium" as opposed to our usual "Jones JR101M Oboe Reed; Medium" purchases. Although the old standby red string JR101M reeds have been perfectly adequate for playing in most situations, they do require quite a bit of scraping and tweaking to get them really playable.This JR101AM reed was already scraped very well. It saved a significant amount of time as it did not require that much touch up to get it where we really like it to be. It is also obvious that it was scraped by someone with significant skill.As improving skills in scraping is critical to progress in our use of the Oboe, we will be buying the occasional JR101M in the hopes that one day our scraping skills approach those at Jones when they produce the Artist series reeds.Needless to say, we have found that the Jones JR101AM are well worth the 30% higher price. Right out of the box these reeds are scraped well enough to be playable in most situations. With minimal tweaking they are ready for on-stage performance. We have found our new reed of choice.
