Reed Monkey Intermediate Oboe Reeds. Handmade.  Choice Medium Strength/Regular Density Cane To Promote Best Tone, Response And Accessibility. 

Reed Monkey Intermediate Oboe Reeds are handmade from scratch in our shop and feature a design that promotes playability, warmth and consistency.  They are no fuss reeds in a medium strength that are less likely to need post ship adjustments than reeds made on harder cane.  These are the best oboe reeds for intermediate players with 12+ months experience, and my recommendation for players just advancing from student reeds.  

Construction/Scrape:

  • Cane: Magic Reed Medium strength/regular density oboe cane.
  • Staple: Chiarugi 47 mm #2 or 2+ Staple.
  • Shape: Mack++ or similar.
  • Blank Length: 72.5-73 mm. 
  • Finished Reed Length: 69.75-70 mm.
  • Hand finished with my signature American long scrape. Customized to balance tone, response, pitch and aperture size to model. 


Finishing Touches:

  • Every reed receives dozens of micro adjustments prior to shipment based on testing with an embouchure close to what is expected for players at this grade level. 
  • Tested on a Howarth XL.
  • Reed prep instructions are included.
  • Light application of Vaseline to moisturize cork. 
  • Covid sanitized. 
  • Reeds are guaranteed against leaks and cracks or other defects that cause them to play under grade.  They are otherwise not returnable.
