Kerry Willingham ar reedmaker.com makes really good reeds that play in tune with so little lip work that i can hardly believe it, and if you don't like the reed, call him, he'll send you another that night. They are long scrape, but I am in the same boat you are in. I am actually coming back to playing the oboe at the collegiate level and I have had a 6 year break, it's really hard for me to lip around into tune with the band, and it will wear me out. His reeds play in tune when you play them out of the side of your mouth where you can't adjust because they are so well made.
HOWEVER, he recommends buying "intermediate" reeds if you have been away from the horn for a while. I bought both kinds, I recommend just going ahead for the pro reed, the timbre difference for 3 dollars and a little mouth strength is astounding.
He used to play in the army band, and also went to IU. He was very good at oboe and now he's very good at making reeds.
American Oboist. I currently play on a Rigoutat Riec. She is beautiful.
