“There are so many things I like about this book! The author uses clear language to describe all the intricacies of the American style of reed making in an amazingly detailed and logical fashion. Every page is filled with varied and fantastic illustrations that beautifully illuminate her words. I also love that she describes many different ways to sharpen a knife, not just one approach; and am equally impressed that she emphasizes a healthy and ergonomic approach to the work. Brava to Ann Rosandich for this indispensable addition to the literature about oboe reed making! — Stephen Caplan, Principal Oboe Las Vegas Philharmonic, Professor of Oboe at UNLV
