Pausing International Orders starting 9/24/2025
With the best interest of myself and my customers in mind, I’ve decided to temporarily not accept international orders outside the USA. There has always been a “landed cost” paid by the customer upon pickup in some countries, but due to recent changes to international shipping fees around the world, it’s become increasingly difficult to predict that cost. It’s not fair that this burden of an unexpected shipping tariff falls on you as the customer, and in turn affects me as a seller.
I sincerely appreciate all the international support I’ve gained in the past 5 years.
My hope is that someday soon I can continue providing reeds to bassoonists all over the world.
Thank you for your support and understanding.

Trust Yourself.
“Ariel is one of the best teachers I've ever known. I thought the trombone was a difficult instrument, but the bassoon seems so much more difficult. I really appreciate the patience, kindness, and professionalism she shows my daughter. It makes me want to try to play the bassoon.”
— Charles, Bassoon Parent
“I LOVE Ariel’s reeds. I’m enjoying them so much. There is a sonority very similar to my sweet spot, I’d maybe call it on the darker side, not bright anyway, a spectrum you can really wallow in… and ease through all registers.”
— Peter, ACDC Reeds Customer
