Ambipoly Perto Oboe Reeds

Ambipoly oboe reeds are made for Individualized Perfection for all oboists. These are made with the European scrape. For oboists who play American-style reeds, these seem to work best if you roll out slightly on the reed from your normal playing position. The Steinworks Company's goal is to make reeds that vibrate evenly and consistently for month after month while delivering nuanced qualities demanded by the individual player, regardless of their setup and situation. The Perto reeds can be switched to a different staple if desired. Once the customizations are decided, wrap the reed with thread to hold everything in place.

Ambipoly PERTO is An Unfinished Reed for High Level Oboists who want to make Customized Reeds.

***Simply tie OVER the tubing with your favorite thread! If you wish to change staples, gently pull the reed off of the existing staple, and place it on one of your own choosing. Retie OVER the tube. DO NOT remove the heat shrink tubing! Doing so will void the warranty. If there are any leaks, use fish skin or para film. The tip may be customized with sandpaper, Reed geek, or knife!***
