Hi Sarah. Sounds like wiring them would solve the problem. Remember that before you use a reed. to soak in room temperature water up to the wire or perhaps even to the binding for about five minutes. This will open up the reed. Doing this may result in you not having to wire up.
Search Utube by typing in Double ReedGeek or DoubleGeek and you should find at least four videos on how to use this tool on Oboe reeds.
As for wiring an Oboe reed it is a 'fidderly' job to do and you need the correct gauge brass wire.
