Collection: Staples for oboe and English horn

Improve tuning stability, adapt air resistance, and optimize the response of your reeds with our specialized selection of oboe and English horn staples. In the double reed family, the staple is not just a simple metal connecting piece; it is the first channel where the vibration of the reed blade becomes an air column. An infinitesimal variation in the tube's diameter, wall thickness, or curvature can radically transform dynamic flexibility, facilitate the emission of high notes, or correct tuning deviations in demanding passages. If you are looking to buy high-craftsmanship oboe or English horn staples, our specialized online store offers the most rigorous selection on the market.

Our catalog includes options manufactured by internationally renowned brands and artisans, covering the exact specifications for both instruments:

• Oboe Staples (Reed Staples): Precision conical tubes (in common sizes such as 45 mm, 46 mm, or 47 mm) made of brass, silver alloy, or gold plating. Designed with the perfect taper for tying natural reed blades, ensuring a high-density cork seal for a firm fit into the oboe body.

• English Horn Staples: Curved noble metal staples in various lengths (No. 1, No. 2, No. 3...) that allow for adjustment of tonal height and the musician's ergonomic position. Available in silver and gold finishes to nuance the sound color, add timbral density, and prevent turbulence in the air column.

• Alloys and Wall Thickness: We offer options with thin walls (for instant response and light attack) and models with thick walls or precious metal plating to darken the timbre and blend perfectly into the orchestra's wind section.
