Pro oboe reed by Charles (ROB100) $26.00 each Oyr best reeds offer more responsive attacks, and refined tone without long a long break-in period. Longer lasting stability. Less need for adjustment.

Student oboe reed by Charles (ROB300) $16.00 each High quality, hand-finished and easy to play! Recommended for less experienced and returning players.
FibreReed by Charles (ROB500) $16.00 eachNeeds no warm up these reeds up. Lasts longer than wood.Sounds good every time!
DECIDE ON THE LEVEL YOU WANT:
PRO Suited to experienced players who demand great flexibility, a wide range of sound and dense tone. Greater experience is required to appreciate and handle this more sophisti-cated and responsive reed. STANDARD Powerful and balanced tone with less flexibility, making for a more stable reed than pro, while retaining the dense tone and rich sound. Suited for players who depend more on stability or want a reed that “plays itself”.
STUDENT Tone that’s easy to support, pitch that’s easy to control and lots of stability make these right for part-time players, beginners and folks who like a reed to do most of the work for you.
CHOOSE A HARDNESS:
SOFT Less effort to play, less resistance and less stability. MEDIUM Most popular choice by far. A nice blend of ease and com-fortable stability.HARD More intensity, more resistance.

CANE FOR THE OBOE FAMILY
10 Oboe Family Cane
WE RECOMMEND BRANDS THAT WE BELIEVE ARE WORTHY. WE FEATURE THESE BRANDS BASED ON THEIR CONSISTENCY, VALUE AND HIGH QUALITY OVER YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
ALL CANE IS HAND EXAMINED BEFORE WE SHIP IT. YOUR ORDER IS WELL PACKED AND WELL MARKED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. ALL PRICES ARE BY THE PIECE.
HOW TO READ OUR CANE CHARTS:
SHAPE INFORMATIONEnd, belly and tip correspond to the image of the reed, showing the relative shape of each. This only applies to shaped cane.
GOUGE This indicates the cane thickness, first down the center, then on the sides - all in millime-ters. This applies to gouged or shaped cane.
DIAMETER This applies to the size of the tip opening. 10-10.5 gives a more open tip. 10.5-11 results in a more closed final tip opening. This applies to gouged or shaped cane.
DENSITYHere we’ve measured the relative firmness and pliability of the cane. Light is more pliable, denser is firmer. This applies to gouged or shaped cane. OBOE CANE GOUGED, SHAPED AND FOLDED CHARACTERISTICS

CANE HOLDS MYSTERIES . . .Below you see one piece of our cane - one among thousands. It started life in the waterways near the winefields of the Var region of France. A cane farmer harvested this cane with a machete, and it spent the next three years on a French roof, drying in the sun. It was chopped and sorted into a barrel, where it spent another half year.
It was shipped from France to New Hampshire, where it was stored in a marked cane bin. You ordered it, and we sent it to you. When you open the box, you have before you the results of more than four years of nurturing, consideration and hard work. All of this preparation is for you - to help you make the best sounds the world has ever heard.
