Magic Reed Oboe Reed Collection

Magic Reed Handmade Oboe Reeds

Magic Reed Handmade Oboe Reeds. Premium Medium-MH/Dense Cane. Expressive- Robust- Nuanced To Sound Your Best.  

The Magic Reed Handmade Oboe Reed brand is the cornerstone of my business, which was launched in 2007.  I draw from my inventories of Marion (2017) and Alliaud (2022) tube cane in the 10.5-11 diameter range, and do all processing in house for better quality control. Both inventories are terrific, and feature medium hard strength, thick walls and higher densities to enable me to achieve some of my boldest, and most nuanced, results. Chiarugi #2 47 mm staples are used to promote a blended tone and lovely focus. Reeds feature my signature American long scrape with a construction that is designed for a more robust/meaty response with a medium aperture size. They with a great capacity for tonal complexity and musical expression. Stronger embouchures and support systems are recommended to fully take advantage of their extra structure. Intermediate reeds are sorted for somewhat smaller apertures.

Available in Intermediate, Professional And Elite Professional Grades.

English horn reeds are included in this group. They are enjoyed by elite professionals and their students for their warmth and expression. They help players sound their best in both practice and concert.

Players seeking reeds with a 46 mm staple can find the option under Custom Oboe Reeds.
