GTG has been noticed here and there on the web:
- Here's a nice article on GTG from the Associated Press from 2005 when we were in Albuquerque.
- "Reed makers in the States area little bit of a mystery to me as
I am
in
the UK but I hear great things of Good Tone Guild found at:
www.goodtoneguild.com". Found at: All
Experts.
- "Lovely reeds. Regular reeds use cork staples, professional reeds use Chudnow brass staples. All reeds come wired unless requested otherwise. Wires come in handy when the reed is approaching death as you can push the wire up and open the reed to give it a far longer life span." Found at: 8Notes Forum.
- "These are the most consistent reeds I have been able to find commercially available..."; "The single best reed I’ve ever played on came from Meg. It had incredible tone and response in all registers. I’ve never had a reed from her that was unsuitable for playing..." These and other comments are found at reedreviews.net.
- "buy reeds from goodtoneguild.com they are handmade. i prefer the artist reeds. mine is the gold "E" staple. they are a bit of a price stretch, but worth it. they do take a but of breaking in though." Found at: facebook.
- "I suggest checking out Meg Cassell's reeds at www.goodtoneguild.com . She is a serious and very conscientious reed-maker, and her prices are low for the quality she provides." Found at IDRS forum.
- "I suggest trying a medium or medium soft reed. They have an online catalog. I get my reeds from GoodToneGuild Doublereeds. They are a great price for a high quality, handmade reed." Found at: Williams Music Studio Blog.
- "I have used several Good Tone Guild reeds and have found them to be extremely usable and comfortable." Found at Hodge Products, Inc. (one of our retail vendors).
- "... in the search for a better reed, I tried some of the fabled Good Tone Guild reeds. They cost nearly double what the Allan reeds are, but they seem to have more “body” to the tone. Plus, the pitch seems a little more stable on my Oboe." Found at: jazz oboe.com
- "Margaret Cassell, oboist and reedmaker extrordinaire. Handmade oboe reeds for all levels. I highly recommend these reeds. Ms. Cassell's expertise and committment to meeting my personal oboe playing needs are noteworthy. " (Once again, from Williams Music Studio).
