Best Professional Oboe Reeds For Discerning Players Seeking A Blended, Yet Focused Tone For Optimum Expression - Handmade!
Magic Reed Professional Oboe Reeds are handmade from scratch and custom scraped. They are beautiful reeds designed to achieve a robust, meaty response combined with a dark, rich tone. They are enjoyed by some of the country's most discerning players. Professionals, adult amateurs and conservatory bound students with somewhat stronger embouchure and greater windspeed to fully take advantage of the reed's capability.
Materials/Construction/Scrape:
-
Cane: Made with my coveted 2017 Marion (Var) or Alliaud oboe cane with 10.5-11 diameters, medium to medium hard strengths, higher densities, and thicker walls. Staple: Professional Chiarugi 47 mm #2 staple sized to help blend tone and enhance focus.
-
Shape: Mack++ or similar. Blank Length: 72.5-73 mm to effect aperture size and tone. Finished Reed Length: 69.75-70 mm.
-
American long scrape. Nuanced process that supports the optimum function of the four pillars of the oboe reed: stability, pitch, tone and response. Every reed gets dozens of micro adjustments and quality tests prior to certification and shipment.
- Standard and Elite Professional Models.
Finishing Touches:
- Tested on Howarth XL Oboe
- Reed prep instructions included.
- Light application of Vaseline to moisturize cork.
- Covid sanitized.
- Reeds are guaranteed against cracks and leaks or other faults that lead them to play under grade. They are otherwise not returnable.
