More than 600 products for double reed players including cane, handmade reeds, instruments, and repair services.
Brian Charles, Co-owner and Director, a Juilliard trained double reed player and long-time professional performer, founded Charles Double Reed Company in 1984. A Montreal native, and long time New Yorker, Brian moved from Manhattan to Northern New Hampshire in 1994, and after a lengthy acclimation period, has become a strange mix of country boy and city boy. His 1952 Ferguson tractor is the latest obsession, coming close on the heels of the last obsession, a chain saw. He is a published composer and has recently begun working on new pieces mixing acoustic and synthetic elements.
Sarah Charles, Co-owner, is the financial wizard of the company. In addition to juggling Euros, answering phones and leading our sometimes weekly exercise routines, she is a creative in and outdoors woman, with aspirations of continued rock climbing, skiing, hiking and felting.
Michael Felber, seemlessly merges his many talents into our inventory and shipping departments. A New York native and long time North Country resident, he and his wonderful wife Tina own Milo, possibly the largest dog in the universe.
Jennifer L. is the sweet voice and powerful intellect behind our daily operations, including computer, accounting, orders, and many other technical areas. She is currently learning sign language, and keeps extremely busy with her twin boys, Zack and Tyler.
Our mission is to be the best possible provider of services and products to oboe and bassoon players world wide.
