First Chair Oboe Reeds: Handmade To Sound Best

Nuanced Scrape. Beautiful Tone. Responsive. Premium M-MH Cane. For Intermediates To Professionals In All-Weather Conditions. 

First Chair Oboe Reeds are handmade from scratch and designed for warmth, response and expression. They are made with your choice of  Rouche or Vic cane in the M-MH+ strength range. Fortunately, I purchased a long term supply of each brand in 2019 because they are hard to find- and Rouche is no longer available from the grower. Diameter is in the 10.5-11 range. Cane is processed in-house and is sorted, edited and curated for top quality. Apertures are right sized by grade. Paired with Chiarugi 47 mm 2+ staple (designed for Loree AK oboes) and is great for orchestral play.  Professional construction and nuanced American scrape. Intermediate and Professional models. Designed for players with at least 18 months experience up to the expert level. Individual results vary.
