 Re: Legere Oboe Reeds!

In the UK the bassoon reed retails at £135.00 (lowest price I've seen is around £115) which typically is way more than the $120 so again we're being ripped off here in the UK. They have come down as they were around the £150 mark last time I looked.

I hope the oboe one is way under that - I'll probably look into buying overseas instead of on home turf. If they are consistent in strength and playability so three can be used on rotation with no problem, then that should last anyone with the means of buying them for ages (accidental damage aside).

Interesting they're made from polypropylene as the sax one I've got has a blueish tinge to it like polycarbonate - not that I've got a problem with that so long as it works. The sax one does feel warm after playing for a while, but it doesn't irritate my lower lip like some cane reeds do.
