Kavinski Oboe Reed

Rich dark very broad tone, plenty of heart, good firm response. Colour cream.
Kavinski Oboe Reed

The Kavinski (colour cream) is heavy-weight in nature and recommended for experienced players. The medium gouge combines with a thick U-scrape to give an oboe reed with plenty or heart and substance for the accomplished embouchure to work with. The shape is wide with a large internal volume creating a broad tonal colour.

Some players find the wide shape can cause wallowing of 2nd octave F#, G or G#, or the pitch to be too low overall. If this happens try a narrower reed style.

Overall these features combine to offer a substantial oboe reed with a rich dark broad tone.
