ckoboe777,
I'm able to adjust my reeds for various setups now, but at the time I was struggling like mad because the band conductor was emphatically telling me that I was out of tune. I had to pull out the reed (gasp) or put in a sawed-off staple bottom insert. Looking back, one major factor was the level of my playing, but the other was that my reeds were naturally more sharp because I was on my teacher's reeds (which weren't made specifically for me). This forced me to learn how to make reeds. I didn't buy a new oboe because of the reeds, but certainly there was a major improvement in intonation after I got my new oboe.
I now play a Marigaux 2001.
It's interesting to note that I know someone who bought a beautiful Laubin but whose pitch centre was so different from their other instrument that after months of changing reed setups, I think the Laubin was sold. The reeds could not be reconciled. Not that they wouldn't ever be, but how much effort would have been needed?
