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.
