The company has been a mainstay in the production of reeds for woodwing instruments dating from Benny Goodman to the present. The reeds are used by professional performers in both the classical and the jazz fields, as well as by students.

All Masterpiece and Populaire reeds are produced in the U.S.A. from selected superior, quality cane. Each reed is cut with high-precision, hand finished, and thoroughly inspected to ensure the ultimate in quality and consistency. Reeds are available in nine strengths and packaged in clear plastic boxes of five, ten, and twenty-five.

Since 1883 the Gretsch Company has been making some of the world's greatest drums and guitars, which, when played by some of the world's greatest musicians, product that "Great Gretsch Sound." With its emphasis on hand-craftsmanship and commitment to quality, Gretsch has won endorsement from some of the music industry's most respected artists.

This technique, which was quite the innovation at that time, has become the standard not only of Gretsch drums but also of drum-making around the world. Gretsch drums continue to be hand-made in South Carolina utilizing time-honored tooling, procedures, molds, and processes to exacting quality specifications. Gretsch drums are distributed by Kaman Music Corporation (KMC).

Gretsch produces several guitar lines featuring beautifully crafted hollow-body electrics, solid-body electrics, acoustics, acoustic/electrics, and Broadkaster basses. Left-handed versions of many of its popular guitars as well as double-neck models are available. Gretsch makes artist signature models as well as reissues of some of its classics from the '50s and '60s. Gretsch guitars are distributed by Fender Musical Instruments (FMIC).
