Chase Oboe Reeds are made purely for the lower Grade student oboist and are ideal for anyone ranging from beginner to Grade 5. These reeds are made with the specific requirements of the student oboist in mind.
I make the reeds out of good quality hand picked cane which is prepared and then tied onto quality staples and then scraped to the required thickness. The reeds are of standard length (72mm) and I scrape the reeds with a medium length ‘U’ scrape to create a reed that vibrates easily but is also easy to control.
The reeds are made to order to ensure you receive the correct strength reeds. When you place your order you will specify the standard of the oboist the reeds are to be made for. This will mean I can scrape the reeds to the appropriate strength.
The reeds are designed to produce a good, reliable sound and as well as being easy to blow have enough resistance to help ensure the reeds are easy to control.
These reeds have been used by my pupils for many years and have proved to be very reliable.
