Hi,
I don't know how, or have the supplies for, making oboe reeds. I get my reeds from a local music store because I am not, at the moment, taking lessons and can't get them from my tutor. Is there a "good" brand of oboe reeds? Not that machine-made reeds are that great, but it's the only way at the moment that I can get them.....If you can give me your advice on a good reed it would be most helpful.
Thanks!

Lyric work quite well. I've used Emerald, but they tend to crack. However, I haven't played on store reeds for some time now, so things may be different.

Our kids use Forrest Reeds and really like them and some have good luck with Howling Dog (or is it singing dog??)

My oboe teacher plays in the Boston Pops and she recomends ordering reeds from Singingdogs.com. I have been using them for the past year and they have seemed to work pretty good.
