NMC ‘virtuoso’ oboe reed

About our NMC ‘virtuoso’ oboe reed:

This is our flagship reed! We are proud to now offer 3 different professional reed models, each featuring distinct differences.

• Ross gouged cane
• Brannen X shape – (wide)
• Glotin 47mm staple
• Medium 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!
