Reed sockets are variable from oboe to oboe - even instruments from the same maker but of different ages may have reed sockets with slightly different diameters.

The average diameter of an oboe reed socket is 7mm, but they can vary by as much as +/-0.5mm.

1998 - 2010

The opinions I express are my own.
