Thank you for visiting this product page! This is a medium-soft reed. This is the type of reed used by the oboe player, Fumiaki Miyamoto, famous for "Kazebue" (Wind Whistle). It allows for good breath support, and enables performance with a rich and supple tone. It also produces a good volume and has a wide range of control, making it a truly wonderful type. Recycled tubes are used. The reeds I create are made with particular attention to: - How easy it is on the mouth - Whether the pitch and tone are consistent - The feel of the second octave - How easy it is to create resonance I am especially confident in how easy it is on the mouth. (It doesn't mean it won't tire you out just because it's light) I perform test playing and select the reeds, and I disassemble and remake any reeds that are not up to par. I make them with a balanced approach so that even beginners can easily produce a cohesive sound and create resonance! Since you can't test play on Mercari, I'm selling them at a low price! Since test playing is necessary when making them, the product condition is listed as "Like New". I will disinfect them thoroughly before shipping. I will put the reed in a carrying case, pack it as shown in the photo, and ship it in a brown envelope. Anonymous shipping is also available for an additional 200 yen. Please feel free to ask any questions or make any requests. I also accept custom orders, so please feel free to comment.
