Collection: Oboe reeds

Increase the consistency of your reeds, ensure symmetrical vibration, and achieve the desired timbre with our specialized selection of oboe cane. In the process of making double reeds, the quality of the wood (Arundo Donax) is the determining factor for ease of emission, intonation, and harmonic richness. Selecting cane that is well-calibrated in density, elasticity, and flexibility prevents hours of lost work with irregular or brittle wood. If you are looking to buy oboe cane meticulously selected by master craftsmen and with maximum precision scraping, our specialized online store offers the best options on the market.

Our catalog covers all stages of cane preparation according to the degree of elaboration you prefer in your workshop or studio:

• Gouged Cane: Pieces of natural cane selected by tube diameter, cut to the exact length, and gouged to consistent thicknesses (generally between 0.55 mm and 0.60 mm in the center) so you can shape and fold it as you wish.

• Gouged & Shaped Cane: An ideal option to save time. These have the side contour cut using precision shapers (such as H75, Mack, Hörtnagl, etc.), ready to be tied directly onto the staple.

• Gouged, Shaped, and Scored Cane (Folded): Prepared with the exact central score for perfect folding without cracking the back fibers, ensuring impeccable alignment of both blades.

• Rigorous Density and Diameter Control: We select cane from the best plantations in the Var (France) and Mediterranean areas, classified by hardness and tube diameter (10-10.5 mm and 10.5-11 mm) to adapt to your scraping style (French, American, or German cut).
