I`m a newbie to oboe. Right now I`m using Rico reeds and I notice that reeds come in different hardness: soft, medium soft, medium and hard. Which one should be used for a beginner and why? My oboe is a Yamaha YOB-241.

When I started oboe, I played on the Rico Reeds as well. I started on the medium reeds, because they will let you develop a good embouchure.
BTW, do they still come in the Triangular-shaped Cases?

Just so you know...I think Rico reeds absolutely suck! I had to get some reeds for an emergency and unfortunately got Rico...big mistake, flatest reed ever, pretty thick cane, and couldn`t get it in tune no matter what I tried. Anyways, I started out on a Jones Med. Soft...that`s a good one to start at..

I started by using jones med.
P.S. Once, the store only had Renard (the green ones) and they broke really easily. Jones R definetly better quality.
