Buy Grasshopper Beginner & Student Oboe Reeds To Get The Best Start In A Life Of Music Making. Light, Responsive And In-Tune.

Grasshopper Oboe Reeds are designed for beginner / student oboists with up to one year (or more) of experience and are best in their categories. They are extra light and responsive.  I have two versions of the reed, based on inventories on hand. I may draw  from high end oboe reed inventories that have been pre-sorted for this grade because they possess certain properties that give early learners the greatest chance of success. Typically, they have smaller apertures, but are not closed.  Alternatively, I may fill a reed order using premium outsourced profiled slips of cane from a trusted friend in the industry, mount the cane and finish it as I would any other reed in my product line.  Both options are paired with reed maker choice of professional staple with natural cork. Quality control is the same for both options. Tested and edited prior to shipment to ensure "newbies" will get the right start.  Affordably priced. Individual results vary.
