Honestly, I would recommend learning how to make your own reeds, or have your teacher make them. Most of the store-bought reeds I've played on are, well, not the best I've ever had.

I agree. If you're gonna buy reeds, go for the handmade ones made by pros. We offer some at mklreeds.com. If you're looking to learn about making your own reeds, you can check out all the articles and stuff at oboespace.com
Good luck!
