Lauren Cane Oboe Reed - Medium Soft

Lauren oboe reeds are one of the best reeds available for the dollar. With high-quality cane and expert adjustment, these reeds are exceedingly popular with our customers.

General information on oboe reeds: Oboe reeds are constructed of either wood or plastic. The wood reeds are made of 'cane', a natural material similar in structure to bamboo. We almost always recommend cane reeds over plastic reeds, since they sound a lot better, and are usually a lot more manageable. Plastic reeds cost more, but will last a lot longer (months instead of weeks). We find it difficult to get a good sound on an oboe using a plastic reed.

Cane reeds are available in different 'strengths'. The most popular strength is medium, followed by medium soft and by medium hard. Some manufacturers only make 1 or 2 strengths of oboe reed, but we stock all available varieties from each of the manufacturers we represent.

If your oboe teacher or band director recommends a specific reed, try to stick to the recommendation. There is a lot of variation between brands, and trusting the teacher's expertise is a good idea when it comes to reed selection. If you don't have a specific recommendation to work with, we suggest you try 1 each of several different brands, and choose the one that has the best sound for you and your oboe. We usually recommend the 'medium' strength for customers that don't already have a preference, although 'medium soft' might be more appropriate for beginning oboe players.
