The single reed oboe mouthpieces look like a miniature clarinet mouthpiece mounted on an oboe reed staple. Many years ago, I heard one played by an excellent oboist. It had a recognizably "oboe" sound (of course, on an oboe), but noticeably less good than a real oboe reed.

The one I saw took a really tiny reed, not much bigger than one side of an oboe reed. Even an Ab clarinet reed would have to be cut down a lot.

The Chedeville oboe mouthpiece on eBay a year or two ago sold for over $600. A couple of others have gone for around $100.

Best regards.
