The Oboe BBoard

making reeds

Author: phoenix_song  Date:   2003-12-29 03:19 Well, since I have a nice wooden oboe now (which I am still gushing about) I think this is a good time to start looking into making reeds. I've thought about it before, because I know that once you've gotten all the tools and stuff it ends up cheaper, and I've been playing for a couple years now too. My question is: What way do all of you out there recommend I get started in this? I don't have a whole lot of cash that I want to blow on this, because I have to save my money for college tuitions, so what is the cheapest kit/ supply store you know about, or what the best instruction book would be? Anyway, store bought is working right now, but later on it's nice to make your own reeds. A lot of the brands out there are disappointing me lately, and I've heard that the home-made ones play better and last longer. Happy oboeing....
