New Customers: It is extremely helpful for me to send you reeds appropriate for your level of playing by knowing some basic information about you. When ordering, please include some general facts about who is playing on the reeds. Knowing how long the person plays per day, if you play a student line oboe or upgrade, or even if you are a professional, it helpful to have this information.
New Student Reed Line: Check out my hand finished easy blowing reeds for student and for players that still play the oboe but not on regular basis. If you are a band director and place an order for your students, discounts are available. C all 704-651-2629 for more details.
Pitch: The reeds from BestOboeReeds.com are designed to give oboists the ability to play better in tune, have more endurance, and a more beautiful tone. If a reed is too hard for a player, then the pitch will be sharp and the tone will be harsh. If the reed is too flat, the oboist has to over use the embouchure to keep up the pitch and at times gives the tone a false sense of darkness. It’s true, it really is all about pitch when it comes to reedmaking!
Exercise: Did you know that being a musician is like being an athlete? Playing the oboe requires strength and endurance. The better shape you are in, the better you will play! Strong abs absolutely helps the high notes!
Practice: It is not always about how long you practice but how you practice music that will make a difference. Focus on the difficult measures going slow and gradually uping the tempo. Also, master a measure at a time if you can even play one line successfully, why try and play the entire etude or piece only to get continually frustrated.
For Adults Only: Who doesn’t need more energy and help with the body to stay healthy. At BestOboeReeds.com, I am always looking for science based break through products that make a difference. Max International has taken my workouts and playing to a whole new level. Check out www.maxforlifetoday.com. The products could change your life! If I can answer your questions, call 704-651-2629.

Lavendar Oil has been wonderful for settling my nerves before a performance or simply getting a good nights sleep.
