Forrests Music

Forrests Music in Berkeley, CA has a wide assortment of supplies geared for the double-​reed woodwind enthusiast. They are just about THE ONLY retail store in the Bay Area that greatly caters to the needs of Bassoon and Oboe Family Instruments. If you make your own reeds, Forrests’ Catalog of devices, supplies and odd and ends will not disappoint. Although the prices are priced a bit higher than one would expect, the selection and service are top-​notch. Forrests also carries stock which would be of interest to the other woodwinds, but their main focus is toward the double-​reeds. If you are a woodwind player and don’t know about this store, you should. They might just have the exact thing you need for a rehearsal or a performance, when you’re in a bind! They also carry rather obscure, specialized woodwind recital CDs that you will not find elsewhere! Most definitely worth going out of your way to check it out! If you’re a woodwind geek like me, you’ll go nuts!
