Richards RDR-1001 Oboe Double Reed, Soft

• Reeds use a shape that holds the upper register up, and allows the player to get a darker, more centered tone without biting.
• Oboe reeds are available with wire
• This is preferred by many, for beginners
• Wire allows the student (or teacher) to vary the tip opening, responding to temperature, season, and humidity
• Standard 47mm tube is used

Each Richards reed is hand made and shaped to a specific length with the finest cane, tested for pitch to A-440 and uses the long American scrape to provide a dark, stable, and centered tone with an even response throughout the full range of the instrument.
