Oboe Reed

Quality handmade oboe & English horn reeds, tube cane, gouged & shaped cane, oboe music, accessories and more. Made to order by a team of professional oboists in Chicago. We also offer private lessons in the Chicago area.

Just as we do scales, long notes and articulation exercises every day, it is highly recommended that you make reeds daily to progress. Here are some of the tips to improve your oboe reed making I always give in my reed making lessons.

Hi All! It's DIY Day: a day that would make even Martha Stewart proud to be an oboist! When I go to schools to work with young players, I inevitably see students in need of the same basic supplies. Most often I notice that budding oboists open their oboe cases to get reeds out of either plastic “coffin” cases or plastic tube “vials.” These cheap plastic containers are usually used to ship commercial reeds, but don’t do a great job at protecting a student’s reeds on a day-to-day basis. Why?…

No more open oboe reeds! Worldwide shipping from 6€! Suits to European and American reeds. Dedicated to open and fresh oboe reeds. You can keep it in the reed box! The design and product is protected.

This seems geeky but might come in handy. No wonder my band director said oboe players are obsessed with their reeds.
