OBOE REED BLANK
£12.00Price
Oboe reed blanks are tied-on only, unscraped reeds.
These are suitable for intermediate and advanced oboists who prefer to scrape their own reeds from tied-on blanks rather than make them from scratch.This saves you a lot of time when making reeds.

All reed blanks I sell are made from high quality Alliaud/Roseau Chantant tube cane and are tied onto a 47mm brass and cork staple.
These are the steps I take over the process of making every single blank:
- Split tube cane (Reeds n' Stuff cane splitter)
- Pregouge cane (Reeds n' Stuff pregouger)
- Gouge cane (Kunibert Michel gouging machine)
- Shape cane (Reeds n' Stuff shaping machine)
- Tie cane onto staple
The entire process from splitting the tube cane to the finished tied-on reed blank lasts approximately one week.
