Re: making reeds for a tiny oboe mouthpiece

Diz, these mouthpieces were made for a time by Chedeville, among others. They occasionally turn up on eBay where they usually sell for ridiculous amounts (IMHO) - well, maybe not so ridiculous considering the price for oboe reeds if you don't make your own.

Ken, I've never seen them side-by-side but, as I recall, the oboe mouthpiece is fairly close in size to the mouthpiece for an Ab sopranino clarinet. Vandoren makes Ab reeds and Woodwind and Brasswind says they have #2, 3 and 4 in stock (if you can trust them). Since I don't have an Ab, I've never tried to buy them, though.

Best regards,
jnk
