Welcome to Birdsong Reeds,
I am continually inspired by the beautiful singing of the birds in the woods where I live. I listen daily to their calls: lilting, intense, resonant, and confident. Their ability to so clearly and beautifully express their desires through song captivates me.
As oboists, we can get caught up with the daily inconsistency and struggle of our instruments and their accompanying equipment. At Birdsong Reeds, I strive to provide you with the tools to sing through your instrument with the same effortless confidence and beauty as the birds.
Oboe reeds, like birds and people, each have a unique voice. Every piece of cane is different, creating the variety and beauty of sound we can achieve as oboists. Reeds are a dynamic force, always shifting and adjusting. For this reason, I make reeds over the course of two weeks, allowing the cane to fully dry between steps. This gives the cane time to settle into its new role and produces reeds that are more stable and longer lasting.
All reeds are made to order. Don't know what you need? Reach out, I am happy to help you figure out what will work best for your needs.
Are you a professional oboist interested in purchasing reeds? Send me a message, I would love to work with you.
Are you a school or educational organization looking for dependable, consistent reeds for your students? Send me an email, I offer discounts for schools.
