Moon River Oboe Reeds: Handmade To Sound Best 

Responsive, Expressive Reeds. Premium Medium Hard Cane. For Advanced Intermediates To Professionals.   

Moon River Oboe Reeds are handmade from scratch and crafted with a professional construction and scrape for best results. They are designed for players seeking dark, expressive reeds with powerful projection. I use Vic Oboe Cane (2019) which is a beautiful harder cane with regular density. It comes from the Frejus region of France. Cane diameter is in the 10.5-11 range. Apertures are right sized by grade. Paired with Chiarugi 47 mm # 2+ staples (a somewhat larger staple than #2- made for Loree AK oboes). Intermediate, Professional and English Horn models. Designed for players with at least 3 years experience with developing to fully developed embouchures. Individual results may vary.  

Moon River is a metaphor of yearning for the unpredictable eddies of an adventurous life, to be swept along by the currents to somewhere new: “Wherever you're going, I'm going your way.”
