Understanding the Oboe Reed by Graham Salter, with an American contribution by Elaine Douvas & Linda Strommen is packed full of detailed information accompanied by explanatory images. Included are 115 superb coloured images of reeds of great oboists from Antonoi Paculli to Guy Legere along with 82 interviews, measurements, techniques & philosophies of these great musicians. An amazing reference and a fabulous gift for the oboe connoisseur.
Book is mostly fine, but came in with the cover peeling a bit. Spine and everything else is in good shape.

I love the reeds so much - they're super well made and work incredible. When I tried to work them in, I realized that they were a little too hard for the level that I'm at, but I 100% recommend them and will be buying a couple different types to see what works best for me
This was a present for my wife who is a talented bassoonist but had a very worn bassoon bag. She is very happy with her new one, and it looks great. Very happy.
Miles better than the reeds that came packaged with my instrument! One of the two reeds that I ordered is slightly better than the other, but even that one is leagues better than the one I had before, 100% would buy again
The intermediate oboe reeds are resistant enough and not too noisy.
Suitable for orchestra!
