Professional Oboe Reed

Description

A professional-quality, handmade oboe reed, made to order, just for you. The details:

• Easy response.
• Pleasant tone – not dark, but not bright either, will blend well with an ensemble.
• Stable pitch.
• Tuned to A=440, crowing “C” octaves.
• Available in medium-soft, medium, or medium-hard strengths.

I use the following materials:
• Hand-gouged cane – I just got a new Reeds n’ Stuff gouging machine from Ann Hodge and I absolutely love it!
• Hand-shaped, usually with a Pfeiffer-Mack reproduction tip from Westwind Machining.
• Stevens silver, thinwall, 47mm staples.
• FF nylon thread.

Each reed is sterilized in 70% isopropyl alcohol before mailing.

If you have any preferences or there’s anything I need to know about what you like in your reeds, please let me know!

My return policy:
• If you hate your reeds, or they don’t work for you, or they arrive cracked or broken, let me know. We’ll discuss the best solution – I am happy to work with you!
