The Wood Stone reeds are made of premium quality French cane from the Var region.
Cut to the exacting standards of Wood Stone (Japan) these hand selected reeds have a jazz unfiled cut, and feature an immediate and flexible tone.
Bob Mintzer (Top US Saxophonist):
'The Wood Stone reeds are incredibly consistent, vibrant and long lasting. The reeds have an even, dark tone that spans the full range of the instrument. I can't say enough about these reeds, they simply work great!'
Tom E Politzer (Tenor Sax, Tower of Power):
'Wood Stone reeds are simply the best Sax reeds I've ever used. Great cane and super consistent straight out of the box! I couldn't believe it when I first tried them, great reed after great reed, and that continues to be my experience. Also, they last longer than any reed I've ever played. Do yourself a favour and try them if you haven't yet.'

I've been using these reeds for quite some time now. They may cost more than other reeds but for me they have been the most consistent. They play straight out of the box and I have rarely found the need to adjust one with my Reed Geek. I keep trying new reeds as they come onto the market but have not found anything better yet.
Simply put I've never been so pleased with a saxophone reed in all of my years of playing! These reeds are the best reeds I've ever used. I am from the US and these can not be found out here. All of the places I used to be able to get them from are sold out and the next time they will be receiving them is at least 6 months! Enter Dawkes Music... I've seen reviews and read nothing but great things about them and have seen a lot of their instrument reviews on YouTube. Dawkes is simply the Best and I will be ordering a lot more things from them in the future! I have recommended them to a lot of my friends as well. My reeds arrive quickly and in perfect shape Kudos to the entire staff at Dawkes for making my experience a very pleasant one
Spot on strength- 2 1/2 - no doctoring needed! Use straight from box, after conditioning by wetting , playing a short while , then repeat, after drying naturally, until "bedded in. " Expensive , but they work " out of the box" for me , with no Duds!
I think that in nearly 50 years of playing the saxophone, these are the best reeds I have ever used. Consistent, always secure and long lasting
Reeds came on time. All good
My son has been using these for quite a while. They are not cheap but they are consistent and they last. He reckons they are excellent.
My son loves these; consistent and they seem to last.
My son uses these: he says they are more consistent than other brands, are nicer to play, and last longer.
Great reeds, I don't want to use any others !
Well balance and good intonation
