High Altitude Friendly! Helps First Year Players Sound Best While Learning The ABC's Of Music.
Highland Beginner/Student Oboe Reeds are designed for players without a working embouchure. These are strictly for high altitude geographies (4500 ft altitudes and above) where the use of smaller cane diameters is necessary to offset altitude impact on aperture size. The reeds have a larger aperture than I would use here in NY, but are expected to shrink to a good high altitude range where you live. The degree of shrinkage can vary based on your actual altitude.
Early learners need a reed that will give them a good chance of success with this difficult instrument. Highland Oboe Reeds sound better than the manufactured reeds on the market, and benefit from extra finishing by Shop owner. Construction includes professional staples and cane. Cane supplies may be processed in-house or outsourced with custom profiling. Discount pricing.
