High Quality Student Oboe Reeds With A Hybrid Scrape. Features A Consistent Look And Feel & Extra Tip Definition.
Reed Monkey Student Oboe Reeds are handmade from scratch and feature a hybrid scrape that is combined with a nuanced hand finish for a great playing experience. They have the most free-blowing, supple response within the Reed Monkey brand, have a warm tone, and are balanced for pitch. They are also sorted for smaller apertures (reed opening). Recommended for players with at least 6 months months experience who want to develop their sound side-by-side with learning their ABC's of music. Private study with a professional oboe teacher is recommended, but not essential for this model.
Construction/Scrape:
-
Cane: Medium to medium hard strength/regular density oboe cane that promotes best results for this grade with a profiler. Staple: Easy glide synthetic staple. Shape: Medium. Blank Length: 73 mm. Finished Reed Length: 69.75-70 mm.
-
Hybrid Scrape: This means we use a light machine profile in the middle third of our own blanks (we never outsource). They are hand-finished using 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.
