Our Products
Handmade Oboe Reeds
We offer a full range of handmade professional and student oboe reeds. Customers report that "they don't just speak- they sing". They are warm, responsive and balanced to promote your best performance. We feature an America scrape with more beef than is customary in the industry for a truly professional or near professional experience depending on grade... and they typically last longer too.
Professional Oboe Cane
We identify extraordinary cane, worthy of a long-term investment, through a complete pre-test protocol. We have made such investments in 2017 and 2018, and this cane has aged beautifully since then. This inventory management strategy provides our customers with consistently better product over time, and the ability to replicate their success in future orders. Our current inventory includes cane in medium to medium hard+ strengths-all capable of making great reeds, mostly under our Magic Reed Private Label.
Oboe Staples & Supplies
The staple is a critical building block for great reed making. We have established a select inventory of staples that are most popular in the US, as well as some specialized O ring options We offer them all at competitive prices as a service to our oboe cane customers.
English Horn Reeds
Our English horn reeds and blanks are made to performance standards and reflect the same quality and attention to detail as found in our oboe line. They are designed for a bold, beautiful tone that includes plenty of nuance.
Oboe D'amore Reeds
Our oboe d'amore reeds are 95% finished, leaving the final details to expert reed makers who just need a head start. We use all the best materials with cane, staple and finishing options.
Bassoon Reeds & Cane
Greetings bassoonists! We have launched this product line to take advantage of bassoon cane referrals through our network of oboists in major orchestras. We will grow the bassoon reed category over time, and are starting with a collaboration with a sensational bassoon reed maker.
