Venice Oboe Reed

Free-blowing, light clear focused tone, excellent response
Venice Oboe Reed

The Venice oboe reed is a lighter-weight responsive reed suitable for many players from the early stages up to accomplished musicians who like free-blowing oboe reeds. The thin gouge and a standard U-scrape combine to produce an oboe reed with a well balanced scrape providing tonal clarity and increased resonance.

The shape is narrow creating a good balance of pitch stability with slightly enhanced upper register and projection.

Overall these features combine to offer a lighter-weight oboe reed with a clear and slightly centred or focused tone.
