Professional Reed (K Line)

The original Manhattan Reed made by Kevin Qian

Ideal for oboists with 4+ years of playing experience.

Our handmade professional oboe reeds use an American style scrape and are made with carefully selected Loree cane to ensure the highest performance and quality. All of our oboe 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.

We prioritize good intonation, rich tone quality, easy response, and clean articulation, across all registers. Each professional oboe reed is handmade to order, and undergoes a multi-day finishing process to ensure stability. Additionally, all oboe 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.
