Professionally handmade Oboe Reed #13 features a balance of 70% resistance to 30% freedom. Focused, low, resonance tone. String color is light blue. Tip opening: more open (takes good air support and a smidge more mouth pressure)

We have a unique system for naming our reeds. We assign them a number based on criteria about their levels of resistance. The numbers on this chart show the percentage of resistance in the reed on the left, and the percentage of flexibility in the reed on the right.

Help us help you - we do not call our reeds by the old names anymore. Please call them the new names when referring to them (Oboe Reed #1, Oboe Reed #2, etc…).

The number essentially corresponds to how easy the reed is to blow to how easy the reed is to control. Here is some advice about how to select the best reed fit for you. Do you have a request for a specific tip opening (more closed | medium | more open)? Put that in the notes and we’ll do our best to select a tip to your specifications.
