There seem to be a lot of American oboists (possibly bassoonists) that are moving towards the European model; At some point in their careers, many European double reed players choose a path where they focus on reed making or playing. The players can make reeds, and will adjust, but don't spend all of the time making reeds, and the reed makers are likely good players, but make amazing reeds. I'm seeing a bigger influx of pro oboists do this.
But also, there are a lot of amateur oboists and bassoonists doing this model too, buying from pro reed makers. I believe the internet is opening that network of people so that amateur performers don't have to settle for mediocre reeds.
I, on the other hand, make my oboe family reeds and my bassoon reeds. My oboe reeds are a very unique style, and I don't know how I'd function on the standard American style reed anymore.
