Re: making reeds for a tiny oboe mouthpiece

I both have a Chedeville oboe mouthpiece (complete with nickel plated mouthpiece cap and single screw ligature) and have used an Ab clarinet. The two reeds (the one for the oboe mouthpiece compared to the one for the Ab horn) are not comparable in size. While you could cut the Ab reed down, you can also do the same with the Eb size of reed, a commodity that's much more available.

And, while the tiny little staple-mounted mouthpiece is a bitch to play from the embouchure standpoint, with my lips at least it's better than managing an oboe reed. Your mileage may vary...
