Bochum Oboe Reed

The Bochum (colour white - green stripe) is a lighter-weight responsive oboe reed suitable for many players from the early stages up to accomplished musicians who prefer free-blowing oboe reeds. The thin gouge and a standard U-scrape combine to produce a reed with a well balanced scrape providing tonal clarity and increased resonance.

The shape is our narrow ND shape - a carefully designed curve giving good pitch stability yet with plenty of breadth in the upper blades to provide the feel of a wider oboe reed.

Overall these features combine to offer a lighter-weight responsive oboe reed with a clear fairly centred and focussed tone and good pitch stability.

Test-and-Return Guarantee
All our reeds can be returned, after testing, within 30 days - see our Returns page for more information (please note we cannot accept reeds which have been extensively used, altered or marked).

We use Royal Mail First Class post. Combining our order processing time with time in the post it is normal to expect the reeds within roughly a week from ordering. It is best to plan ahead and order well before you have completely run out of reeds!
