 Hello,
 
 I am a new beginner and just started learning the oboe almost a year ago.  I recently bought a new reed 'Fortay student' and I found I'm having problems with it.  The new reed is extremely easy to blow into without much effort but the result is that it sounds like a saxophone/bagpipe!
 
 Do you think it could be a faulty oboe reed or I'm buying the wrong hardness?
 
 Many thanks for your help and expertise!
