Making oboe reeds is very easy! Fiddily yes, but difficult - no. This oboe reed making guide has 83 photos of individual steps making it simple and clear to follow its instructions.

With a few simple tools (no expensive or complicated machinery) and some gouged, shaped and profiled cane (which you can buy from HERE) making your first oboe reed is genuinely easy! It is fiddly and it is likly that the first couple will go slightly off course but you will soon get the hang of it you'll find it very easy. Once you start playing on your own reeds you'll find all bought reeds infirior, due to the reeds you make being specially made to suit your own needs.

Making Reeds is Easy!

This is a great little book to get started making reeds with clear explanations and diagrams to help you at every step. Recommended for the beginner.

Making Oboe Reeds book

Great little book with lots of helpful photos to assist.

Making Oboes is Easy

Superb illustrations and clear instructions. Not sure what, 'cane from Cogolin or Glotin means. Supplier? or where it's grown?

Such a great selection!

I love this site. There's not a lot on the web for oboists compared with offerings for other instrumentalists. That's why this site is a little gold mine of goodies for us 'haut bois'. Good prices and fast delivery; recommended.

Very good

Very good quality and have lasted a while

Good but

Although the reed is just perfect, I would have thought the shipping would have been with a sort of holder to protect it, like for clarinet for exemple. But I am new to oboe, so I wont complain any further.

3-stars…it ain’t bad! (but it is big…)

I recently purchased the 6-bassoon/3-contrabassoon wooden reed case from Crook and Staple, and I have mixed feelings about it. First off, the case is a bit larger than I expected, but fortunately, it fits into my Pro-Tec Bassoon Case "ok" above the boot joint on the inner lid-protected storage.

One of the things I really love about this case is the ample room it provides for each reed. It’s great to have dedicated space for my reeds, ensuring they stay secure and protected. However, I did have to re-glue two of the bracing ends that hold down the contrabassoon and bassoon reed holder rods, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, I’m happy with my purchase and would suggest it to other bassoonists. Just keep in mind that this reed case is larger than expected, so plan accordingly. Also, be aware that it doesn't have a latch; it closes with magnets, which means it could fall open if left loose in a bag.

In summary, I’m giving it 3 out of 5 stars, but I would still recommend it to fellow bassoonists!

Brass staple

I will get back to you after our rehearsal....should be interesting... hopefully with this reed i will be heard over the bagpiper whos playing ....beautifully made reed...

Adjustable oboe staples

The corkless staples are helping my sound to project.

Postage which was relatively expensive was due to arrive in 2-3 working days. It only arrived ye...

A little disappointed with music bag which was quite flimsy.

Favourite to date

I've been working my way round different reeds, having decided that you probably get what you pay for with oboe reeds. To date, this is the only one that I have repeatedly come back to as they seem to settle quickly and are good across the range. As always, some are better than others but still, I have found them more consistent than other brands. To put this in context, I am
nowhere near professional level, more Grade 8 level.

Bassoon cane order

Arrived as promised carefully and safely packed! Great service!

Medir cane

Always consistent shape and curvature, with a central line for folding accurately. The hardness does vary of course - this time one out of the five pieces was almost too hard to be useable - but the rest make good reeds with very little extra scraping. Package arrived promptly from Crook and Staple.

Not the one for me

I have had 2 of these reeds. They are both easy blowers for the low notes but not as good for the high (third octave F). Having said this, I don't have a third octave key on my oboe - maybe this particular reed needs that?
