Reed Maker ...

In 2011, Julie Grasso, along with business partner Melissa Feilhauer, established Double or Nothing Reeds, LLC.  Each partner is an active professional musician with the company specializing in custom handmade reeds. After just one year, the business more than tripled!  Julie believes this is due to the quality of the products, the personal service and the attention to detail.  Double or Nothing Reeds provides many individuals, middle and high school, colleges and other double reed businesses with hand made reeds.  They also carry Yamaha and Fox instruments, reed making tools, supplies, cane and a wonderful selection of accessories.
