Magic Reed
Handmade Oboe Reeds & Oboe Cane

Our handmade oboe reeds have a national reputation for tone quality, expression, balance, scale and longevity- and we have the reviews to prove it.  Our reeds are unique in the industry.  They don't just speak- they sing.  Magic Reeds are designed for professionals first, and then modified for other dedicated players with at least 1 year of experience.   We offer student, intermediate, custom and professional reeds with the graduated resistance and nuance.

Our Magic Reed Oboe Cane has been described as "the best in 20 years" by elite recording artists and conservatory educators.  We source only  extraordinary oboe cane worthy of our long term needs and those of our most elite customers.  All gouge and shaped oboe cane is processed in-house.  

Magic Reed carries a limited number of used oboes we would be happy to play ourselves, or are of the quality we would want for our students.  We buy oboes, rather than have them consigned to us.  In doing so,  we can achieve the best combination of age, quality, price and overall value for our customers. Some even have buy-back options.  If you have an oboe to sell, please contact us directly to discuss.

While our website is packed with information for those who want it, a mobile phone alternative is available for those seeking a more streamlined experience.  There are checkout bonuses throughout the site to reward those who want a more interactive experience (you are encouraged to at least skim and click to get it).
