Description
Hand-made from start to finish, with the same high-quality cane I use for my own reeds. Play-tested to my exacting standards.
I strive for stability and a comfortable level of resistance in my reeds, with a relatively small tip opening so you can relax and blow instead of biting to manage the pitch. Medium is my own preferred playing strength, and there is more resistance to it than most commercial “Mediums”.

About the Staples: I find that the basic synthetic tubes are just fine, and younger students tend to prefer them because they slide easily in and out of the oboe. For those seeking MORE, the thinner-walled Chiarugi tubes offer a more immediate response and a more vibrant sound, while the reeds made on the Pisoni tubes tend to be heavier, darker, and have great projection in a hall.
The JIR Custom Tube is a handcrafted German silver staple with premium natural cork, with a custom bore that offers a warm sound, moderate resistance, and stable pitch up and down the instrument.
