First Chair Professional Oboe Reeds are handmade from scratch. Reeds have a beautiful tone, medium resistance and are well balanced for pitch and stability. They are made with my 2019 Rouche (M-MH/regular density) cane inventory in a 10.5-11 diameter. This cane is so good and so scarce that it is no longer available in tube form from the grower. Cane and reeds go through continuous quality sorts, including for somewhat larger aperture size. Pro reeds need this extra room to receive the nuanced scape necessary for the the result that accomplished players seek. Visit the Professional Oboe Reed Collection page for further details on construction and scrape.
