We are proud to offer this new reed model! We consider this reed to be a great ‘middle of the road’ option since it’s medium in every respect. Medium shape, medium tip opening, and medium staple size. Great for oboists just getting into handmade reeds or for a more experienced oboist wanted a reliable reed with consistency.

From Andrea Smith, our resident reed-maker:
I have a great deal of pride in this handmade professional oboe reed option! They are meticulously wrapped and are never overtied past the 47mm mark. Because I use a unique scoring technique on the bottom of the cane, they rarely have cane cracks above the thread. If you feel strongly about your cane or staple choice, just add a note to your order.
Not only is this reed great for those just starting out with handmade reeds, the NMC Maestro Oboe Reed is also a great option for intermediate players and can definitely work for professionals that like more of a smaller tip opening. If you’d like to work on making your own reeds, we highly recommend our handmade reed blanks!
