“Catherine’s reeds produce a big, even, rich and ringing sound, with great response and stable intonation in all registers.  They are finished to the point where I felt comfortable performing on them right away – the sound makes me feel good!  There is also enough ‘wiggle room’ for minor adjustments based on personal preference and the context in which they will be played. I am very happy with all of them and I’m confident that her reeds are suitable for performance in any orchestra hall.”

-Steven Dibner, Associate Principal Bassoon of the San Francisco Symphony
