Staples
- Chiarugi 2+: my standard staple, an excellent all-around staple with a big sound. My preferred staple for Loreé, Howarth and Yamaha oboes.
- Chiarugi 2+ Nickel-silver: made of harder metal, these staples are very similar to the Chiarugi 2+ but may have more projection and resistance.
- Chiarugi 2+ thinwall: my newest experimental addition, these staples make very responsive reeds with a bright, expressive sound.
- Chudnow E: all-metal staples with a rubber o-ring instead of cork.
- Chiarugi 2: smaller bore than the 2+. Worth trying on Marigaux and non-ak Loree oboes.
Shapes
- RDG -1: Stable, easy to play, good tone and ease of control. This is the narrowest shape I use.
- Joshua +2: Medium-narrow American shape. Good for pitch stability. A tiny bit wider than the RDG at the tip but less curve. Can be a fix for oboes with a saggy mid-register C.
- Pfeiffer-Mack: More flared at the tip than the other shapes. Reeds on this shape require more control in the upper register but have a very colourful sound full of expressive potential.
- Caleb -1: More curved in the back than the Joshua but without the tip flare of the Pfeiffer-Mack. Provides reeds with plenty of depth and dynamic range.
