Happy oboists need great oboe reeds that they can rely on for their day to day needs as well as their most important performances, Magic Reed Handmade Oboe Reeds consistently achieve superior results. They are designed to sound great, speak on command, respond to nuanced wind speed, take a vibrato, play on pitch, and are long-lasting. What could be better? Now you can focus on making music.
Magic Reed Handmade Oboe Reeds are truly distinctive in a world of mass and high production oboe reed businesses.
- Every oboe reed (even student models) are handmade from scratch and finished to order. I do not outsource any component of the process because step by step quality control is so important. I keep my business small so I can invest the amount of time needed on every reed to achieve the results I seek. If I don't like the reed, I don't sell it. I have no reservation dismantling any reed that is not destined for success, or does not perform at or above grade.
- My oboe cane inventory is among the best in the world. It is carefully sorted and processed in-house to ensure superior reed making outcomes for me (and oboe cane customers). When I make an oboe reed, I draw cane from the strongest, rather than the weakest cane in my inventory to get the response I seek. This practice gives me the freedom for a more nuanced scrape with more beef. It also gives the reed a longer life than most others on the market. After all, nobody wants their oboe reed to break down in the middle of an important performance. My oboe reeds are unique because I lighten up, rather than dummy down with my scrape. This practice is is more difficult for the reed maker, but is worth it because making beautiful music is something we all seek.
My Reed Making Supplies And Tools collection is here to help reed makers achieve their best outcomes. I only make available products that I endorse and use myself. I leave full service platforms to others.
About Me: I have been a professional handmade oboe reed maker and owner of Magic Reed since 2007. My Conservatory training took place at Juilliard and Oberlin. Lois Wann, James Caldwell, Bert Lucarelli and Virginia Brewer influenced me the most, with mentorships that continued well into my adulthood. While I decided not to pursue a performance career, I still enjoyed an extraordinary musical life. It is there for you too. I feel privileged to be able to contribute, even if in a small way, to whatever dreams you may have as an oboist.
