Steve --

If you are looking for a reed that is easy to play and requires no adjustment, may I suggest that you write to Katherine Needleman (kkneedleman@yahoo.com) and see if she would ship some of her reeds to you.

She offers reeds in a fairly wide price range ($12 - $25). They are reeds that she has made for her own use, but which didn't quite meet the standards she needs as the principal oboist of the Baltimore Symphony.

In my experience, these reeds are very consistent, and are superior to any machine made student reed you might try. Naturally enough, her more expensive reeds are the better-sounding ones, but none of them are "bad".

If you are intent on using a mass-produced reed, I know a very good oboist who sometimes uses the Lesher "Artist" series. But she does adjust them a bit.

Susan
