NMC ‘prodigy’ oboe reed
About our NMC ‘prodigy’ oboe reed:
We are proud to offer this new reed model! We consider this reed to be a great introductory option to handmade reeds. Great for oboists just getting into handmade reeds or for a more experienced oboist wanted a reliable reed with consistency. As a professional, I also like to use these in certain venues where a larger reed isn’t necessary.
- Ross gouged cane
- Gilbert -1 shape
- Chiarugi or Glotin staple
- small tip opening
- Various finishes available per request
I have a great deal of pride in this handmade professional oboe reed option! They are meticulously wrapped at 72.5mm, 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. If you’d like to work on making your own reeds, we highly recommend our handmade reed blanks!
