Chartier is a company that makes a LOT of oboe reeds. The quality is consistently high, and we have no problem recommending the Chartier brand reeds.

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.

295 pages, Item number 1701576DK, $29.95

Every church and church musician needs a definitive collection of inspirational music. Thank the Lord for this wonderful collection of 450 of the best songs in Gospel music. This "fake book" edition contains 450 songs with each one containing the melody line, lyrics, and the chords. This collection can be used for piano, vocal, guitar, electronic keyboard, or any other "C" instrument. Also included in this edition is a chord chart containing over 525 different guitar chord voicings. Take your worship music to another dimension with this spectacular compilation of "Gospel's Greatest".

A fake book contains the melody line along with lyrics and chord symbols. It is ideal for a pianist that wants to "fake" the left hand part (a fake book does not contain the left hand piano part - it has only the melody), or for anyone that plays a C instrument such as flute, violin, harmonica, or recorder.
