Making
oboe reeds really IS easy.
Fiddly, yes, but difficult - no.
This book saves you buying expensive commercial reeds
that never work properly for you.
And even the best oboe reeds, which are tested - have
you ever thought of someone playing your reed before YOU play it...............................?
For the price of a couple of cheap reeds - or one expensive
one - you will soon be able to enjoy playing on an oboe reed that
suits you. You will play with more confidence, knowing that your reed
will work better.
If you have our Oboist's Reed Doctor, you already know how to get
the best from commercial oboe reeds. But the best commercial oboe
reeds will never be as good for you as your own hand-made reeds.
With a few simple tools, no complicated equipment and ready profiled
reed blanks, making your first oboe reed is genuinely easy. Yes
it's fiddly, you will mess up the first few, but you will soon get
the hang of it. Once you have made your own oboe reeds successfully,
you will not want to go back to buying inferior, ready made reeds.
