 purchasing reeds
Author: EaubeauHorn

Once again, I purchased a "professional" reed that simply does not meet expectations. The tip is so long as to make the reed unstable, has been scraped to the same thickness in the middle as at the edges, and the reed is just pain weak and almost collapses if I subject it to even my out-of-practice embouchure and air flow. Do pros REALLY play on reeds like this? Or am I spoiled by having studied with one of the best reed makers in the West?

Second question: are there oboes that are less reed-sensitive than others?
