 Re: wire for Oboe reed

I absolutely LOVE it when people say they play on purchased (finished) reeds! It gives me hope that the old notion is wrong where playing the oboe means it is fully necessary to make reeds.

I'm sorry to say that have found no fix for the "self-choking" reed issue. I have found plenty of causes, but fixing them is either impossible (e.g. windows dug too deep or with improper rails & spine) or impractical (retying is difficult and often pointless when the cane has molded to the staple).

In terms of using wire to compensate: I've never had any luck with it, so I gave up before bothering to master the technique.

This does not mean that your reed supplier is doing anything outright wrong: I'd expect that if you politely insist on better quality control and/or testing, then this will happen less often.

Best of luck!
