And that's it - easy - one oboe reed in minutes
This book saves you buying expensive commercial oboe reeds
that never work properly for you.
For the price of a couple of cheap oboe reeds - or
one expensive one - you will soon be able to enjoy playing on a reed
that suits you. You will play with more confidence, knowing that your
reed will work better.
If you have our Oboist's Reed Doctor, you already know how to get
the best from commercial oboe reeds. But the best commercial oboe
reeds will never be as good for you as your own hand-made reeds.
With a few simple tools, no complicated equipment and ready profiled
reed blanks, making your first oboe reed is genuinely easy. Yes, you
will mess up the first few, but you will soon get the hang of it.
Once you have made your own oboe reeds successfully, you will not
want to go back to buying inferior, ready made reeds.
With 83 photos and clear instructions, you can't go wrong. We even
tell you where to get the tools and materials.
