Pro oboe reed made from the highest quality cane. Gouged, shaped and scraped all right here by a professional oboist with more than 30 years of playing and teaching experience. Graduate of Eastman School of Music (BM) and Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music (MM). From the reed maker: In my opinion this is not the best reed for a beginner. It requires a developed embouchure and some breath control. If you are a beginner or don't play regularly I recommend the classic reed. No returns on reeds unless damaged in the mail. Damaged reeds must be returned within 7 days. Please email or call before returning.
