Best to have your oboe teacher show you how to make reeds.

The following web page will give you an idea of what`s involved, but it`s not detailed enough for you to use to make reeds.

Also, there are books and videos. The Reed Maker`s Manual & Video by Capps & Weber are excellent.

I think that most of the people here are students...

And [most] young students do not know how to make reeds, therefore... we buy them either from a musical company ot from our tutor.

Reed making? Complicated.


Reed making isn`t cheap... you`d have to buy the instruments, the materials, and time is one thing you must have.

I just suggest that you buy them for now, unless you are willing to put several hours to create a perfect reed. And even if you do create a perfect reed, it`ll only stay perfect for a couple days.

If you don`t already do so, maybe you should start by adjusting reeds you purchase from someone else.

This way you`ll start to develop skills needed to make reeds.

Gee ... my site is mentioned above. Fun!

If you are ready to learn reed making I assume you also have a private oboe instructor. If you aren`t taking private lessons yet I advise you to first find a teacher. You can learn from my site, but you still need someone to watch over your reed making attempts.
