The Regency (colour purple) is our most popular reed - a fact which is not surprising when one considers that it is medium in all characteristics. It is an oboe reed which therefore suits a wide range of players from the early stages up to highly accomplished musicians.
The medium gouge and a standard U-scrape produces an oboe reed with a good balanced scrape combining warmth and responsiveness. The shape is medium width with a medium-large internal volume creating warmth with good sonority.
Overall these features combine to offer a very popular medium-weight oboe reed with a warm and medium-to-broad tone.
Test-and-Return Guarantee
Reeds can be returned, after testing, within 7 days of receipt - see our Returns Page for more information. Please note we cannot accept reeds which have been played on for a long time, or altered or marked in any way. Specially made non-standard reeds are non-returnable.
Delivery
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!
