Alan,
When you say "Quality of sound is not that important at this stage." be aware of just how little "quality of sound" there is regarding synthetic oboe reeds.
I recently played with the Phoenix Symphony and watched the principal clarinetist pull out his reed case full of synthetic reeds, slap one on and tie it down and he sounded great, so I know there are some good synthetic clarinet reeds which produce good tone. However, there are no good synthetic oboe reeds which produce any resemblance of an oboe tone.
I would never have a student play a synthetic oboe reed, mainly because there is virtually no resistance in the reed, which encourages the student to create tension points within to body to add resistance.
