High Quality Intermediate Oboe Reeds With An Eclectic Hybrid Scrape. Features A More Consistent Look And Feel & Extra Tip Definition.

Reed Monkey Intermediate Oboe Reeds are made from scratch in our shop and feature a streamline construction/hybrid scrape that promotes playability, warmth and consistency.  They are no fuss reeds that rarely need post ship adjustment except to lighten them to personal preference.These are the best oboe reeds for intermediate players with 12+ months experience. I recommend that aspiring students begin to periodically test this reed after one 1 year of experience.    

Construction/Scrape:

  • Cane: Medium-MH strength/regular density oboe cane at reed maker discretion to promote best results for this grade with a profiler. 
  • Staple: Reed maker choice of top quality natural cork staple. 
  • Shape: Mack-Pfeiffer.
  • Blank Length: 72.5-73 mm. 
  • Finished Reed Length: 69.75-70 mm.
  • Eclectic Hybrid Scrape: Each batch of cane requires a customized approach to the use of my profiler- it is all about the result  This could mean tip only, middle third of scrape or a top off at the end of an otherwise full hand scrape to secure dimensions and definition. Don't know in advance until I work with the cane, and what month of the year I am am working.  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. 
  • Inspected for defects that impact play and certified at or above grade level prior to shipping.
  • Tested on a Loree Royal 125.
  • Reed prep instructions are included.
  • Light application of Vaseline to moisturize cork. 
  • Covid sanitized. 
  • Intermediate and Pre-Professional Models
