Details Specifications

Ostrava Oboe Reed

The Ostrava (colour white - black stripe) is based on the European W-scrape (which itself is a modified and less extreme version of the American W-scrape). It has a slightly longer scrape than a standard U-scrape oboe reed and a more pronounced spine with thinner "windows" either side of the spine, and a longer tip than the U-scrape. This gives a more free-blowing oboe reed than a U-scrape.

The medium width shape and medium gouge thickness of the Ostrava give a medium brilliance with a medium responsiveness.

Overall these features combine to create a responsive oboe reed with a fairly broad tone and medium-brilliance.
