One different aspect of the reed/oboe interaction is the way in which an oboe problem can be "smoothed over" by adapting the reed to suit the oboe, at a cost of tone quality or other parameters. I played on an eternally leaky Prestini for most of my life and learned to make reeds that allowed me to play, but which gave me intonation and tone problems. When I got my new Marigaux, I adapted on my own to some extent, and started sounding better--but I needed to be prodded by a teacher to make the reed changes that could really fulfill the potential of the instrument. These reed changes also required some player adjustment, as well. They weren't anything too serious, as I had been well trained in the general concepts of embouchure and breath support, but were more a realization of choices that previous reeds didn't really give me.
