I ordered the medium Hard and played it and really liked it. It's been a while since I played so i've ordered the medium european cut to try it. The sound is really good, and the fact that it doesn't need to be soaked and could be played right out of the case is awesome..
Glad to hear you are enjoying the reed!
I haven't played oboe in almost 50 years but got this crazy idea to dust off my instrument for fun. I had old reeds (very old reeds) and thought I'd try something new. The sound is good and the feel is as I remember it. It's been fun to just be able to pick up my instrument and not have to worry about a reed. Here's to more time with the oboe and music I love.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, glad you're enjoying the reed!
Playing in the pit orchestra for a summer production of "Brigadoon" and needed a spare oboe reed - just in case. The reeds are long lasting and best of all, ready to pick up and play. That's important for pit playing. Now will you PLEASE ship English Horn reeds to complete this doubler's menagerie.
Thanks for the kind review!
My son’s band director recommended this reed.
Thanks for the review!
High quality reeds. Good pitch and control. Recomendable. TL
