I plan to keep buying my reeds. To be fair, I am a doubler. Oboe is not my first instrument and my plan in the US is to study multi woodwind (I consider oboe my 'primary double' instrument; flute is my first). And my study will not be a Masters or not even another Bachelor, I am hoping to take on a diploma or grad certificate.

I did use American scrape for a time when I was starting, as I was in the US just after I got my first oboe and bought a selection of handmade reeds. What I found with the American scrape compared to Euro was:

I seemed to kill the American reeds very quickly.
It seemed as though I had more scope to adjust the Euro reeds.
The K.Ges I use are wired and I find this invaluable for making minute adjustments even without scraping (I know other reeds can be wired as well).

So my goal is not to become a concert or symphonic oboist, but rather the skills to perform as an amateur and teach all woodwind to a competent level.
