Student / Professional Oboe Reeds

Student reeds are ideal for oboists with 2-4 years of playing experience.

Professional reeds are ideal for oboists with 4+ years of playing experience. 

Our oboe reeds are crafted using an American style scrape and carefully selected cane ensuring the highest performance and quality. All of our reeds classify as "MEDIUM-SOFT," and strike the perfect balance between resistance and ease of use, allowing students to develop good embouchure habits and learn proper airflow techniques.

For our reeds, we integrate intonation, tone quality, response, articulation, and stability across all registers. However, the student/intermediate reeds may slightly compromise on one or more of these aspects to ensure an easier response while playing. Each reed is meticulously handcrafted, made-to-order, and undergoes a multi-day finishing process to ensure stability. Additionally, all reeds are thoroughly tested on a professional Loree Royal oboe set at A=440 and are sanitized before being shipped.

For an additional $1 per reed, you can select from the colors that we have listed.
