Professional Oboe Reeds

Tailor making professional oboe reeds and English horn reeds. The professional oboe reed is made for the advanced/ professional oboist. With a darker more focussed tone, this reed has more resistant and is ideal for the very active oboist.

Our Professional Oboe Reeds are extremely well structured and robust, and they are made with carefully selected high-standard material. They naturally have very good balance between tone and speed. You can scrape them very comfortably and achieve your own expectations.
Argendonax Professional oboe reeds are designed for the discerning oboist and feature an original shaper with brass wire on a 47mm staple. Variations are available on request including Narrow Shaper, 46mm Staple and without wire. The cane's diameter is 10.5-11mm. Only vinatge Gonzalez cane is used for these reeds.

These are our handmade, professional quality oboe reeds. We guarantee a high level of consistency and quality as we carefully hand-select and process the cane, and all scraping is done by hand. Great care is taken in the making of the reeds, and every reed produces a stable, balanced sound.

These reeds are very reliable and the quality is consistent. They have a medium scrape with a long tip, which gives flexibility to the sound. These reeds are popular with both intermediate and professional players. The continental scrape leaves a little more cane in the centre of the reed, which makes the sound a little warmer than the British scrape.

The Professional Oboe Reed, geared toward the most advanced high school player, college level and professional player, is a completely hand-scraped reed from start to finish.  It has a focused, dark tone, and excellent pitch and response in all registers.
Every level of reed is made using the same high-quality materials and crafted with the same precision and care.


These reeds are very beautifully tied and built. We are confident that they are among the best tied reeds you can purchase.
