Oboe Reeds

Susan makes and sells oboe reeds, handcrafted to suit each individual.  Therefore, students who are interested in buying reeds are asked to provide at least one week's notice.  Oboe reeds are currently sold for $20 each, English horn reeds for $22 each.

Susan uses the Innoledy cane gouger designed by Tong Cui of Boston, MA.  She shapes the cane with a Mack+ or Jeanne shaper and uses high quality cane.  Student reeds are made on brass staples, but silver staples can be substituted at an additional cost.

Part of her responsibility as an educator is to help adjust students' reeds no matter where they were purchased.  Susan provides this service during lessons.

Students who are interested in learning how to make their own reeds are encouraged as long as they show dedication, dexterity, perseverance, and a willingness to spend an additional 1/2 hour a day minimum on this new skill.  Reed-making lessons are offered outside of regular oboe lessons.

Please contact Susan by email to purchase reeds and inquire about reed-making lessons.
