Dear Friend,
If you are serious about improving your oboe reed making, the one thing you have to remember is: Oboe reeds are easier to make than you think!
All you need is the right information, practice, and most importantly, the correct mind set. What Do You Mean?
What I mean is that you have to know what you want from a reed before you can learn how to construct it. Once you do that, you can make them with consistent results. That is one of the biggest "secrets" to making decent oboe reeds.
Don't become frustrated by making reeds that don't work the way you want them too. Take control back and relax a bit. Wouldn't it be nice to:
- Always have a good reed for concerts and lessons?
- Have more time to improve musical skills?
- Spend less time on carpentry skills.
If you feel this way, I would like to show you something that will help.
"Making Oboe Reeds" will give you the knowledge and mind set to be able to make reeds when you need them the most, without all the frustration.
It doesn't matter what level oboist you are, or even if you are just starting out making reeds. This book was written for you.
I've made lots of reeds during my 18 year professional orchestral, chamber music, and teaching career. All of my knowledge has been crammed into this ebook.
"Joe's method is fail-safe. It is the most complete reed book I've ever seen. Perfect for students as well as professionals. Whatever problem you run into, there is a fix for it. You can't go wrong!"

What Format Is The Book In?
The ebook is in a digital format, .pdf file to be exact. What that means is that you download the entire book to your computer and either read it from there, or print it out. This also means that you don't have to wait for it in the mail. How Is The Book Set Up?
This book teaches a very typical "Philadelphia" style of reed making that was first developed by Marcel Tabuteau of the Philadelphia Orchestra in the early 1900's. This style has developed into what is known as the "American" style characterized by the long scrape.
This 116 page, step-by-step manual, teaches you not only how to scrape the reed, but also how to honestly evaluate it. Several different methods of reed making are covered in the book, because there is more than one way of going about it.
Over 80 pictures and graphics are also used to help explain the reed making process. Here are a few examples:
There are also sound clips embedded into the ebook of reed crows. The crow of the reed is the most important information source we have when scraping the cane, so it is important to hear and learn what the crow should sound like.
If you would like to hear an example of one of the sound files,
Here are some of the topics which are covered in the ebook:

How to use the crow of the reed to tell you what to do.
