Moon River Intermediate Oboe Reeds

Superior Intermediate Oboe Reeds-Handmade. Premium M-MH/Regular Density Oboe Cane (Vic). Warm Tone, Responsive.

Moon River Intermediate Oboe Reeds are handmade from scratch. Made with Vic Oboe Cane in a medium to medium hard strength, regular density and 10.5-11 diameter. These reeds are designed to achieve intermediate level playability along with a beautiful tone, excellent projection and a good long life. Apertures (reed openings) are consistent with other intermediate models on this site. Designed for advanced intermediate players with at least 2-3 years experience (high school, conservatory and adult amateurs) with the embouchure and production system to handle a little extra resistance. To learn more about our materials, construction and scrape, consult our Intermediate Oboe Reed Collection page.

 Finishing Touches:

• Every reed gets dozens of micro adjustments prior to certification and shipment.
• Tested on Howarth XL Oboe replicating the embouchure of the player I expect to purchase it, not necessarily my own.  
  
• Reed prep instructions are included.
• Light application of Vaseline to moisturize cork. 
• Covid sanitized. 
• Reeds are guaranteed against cracks and leaks or other defects that cause them to play under grade with a refund or replace remedy.  They are otherwise not returnable.

Moon River is a metaphor of yearning for the unpredictable eddies of an adventurous life, to be swept along by the currents to somewhere new: “Wherever you're going, I'm going your way.”
