And they'll wreck your embouchure - they require a very different embouchure from cane reeds.

Don't use them for any normal playing - the only good use for them is testing an oboe's low notes on a newly overhauled or serviced instrument as they do seal well and don't require soaking, but it's much better to use a reliable cane reed to check the tuning.
