Our Story
The Beginning
Founded in 2018, Reeds Supplies Canada (RSC) began out of frustration with the available options double reed players in Canada had to purchase reed making supplies. As a young bassoonist, when the time came for founder Brittany McCorriston to begin making reeds, she quickly realized the amount of experimenting with different canes, and tools one must go through before finding a reed making process that works. That experimental stage was difficult financially as Brittany, an already cash-strapped student, was afraid to order large amounts of cane or expensive tools in fear they wouldn’t work. This financial burden was exasperated by the fact that almost everything she needed to order had to be imported into the country. This meant added shipping fees, delays at the border, currency conversion, duties and taxes.
