Dan Waldron Oboe Reeds
Professional oboe reed
Please contact me to order reeds.
Due to the lengthy wait list for reed orders I am prioritizing orders already placed, subscribers, and returning customers. I will be accepting new orders again in late March or April 2024.
A hand-made oboe reed, optimized for a big tone and large dynamic range as well as excellent response and intonation.
These are the reeds I would play myself. They are designed to perform best for an experienced player with a well-developed embouchure and plenty of air support.
- Length: 70mm
- Pitch: A=440hz
- Cane: Rigotti 10.5mm

If you wish to customize these design parameters further check out my new Premium Reeds.
If you are just starting out and don't yet have the stamina to play these slightly more open, more resistant reeds I would suggest trying my Student Reeds.
