How to Fill Out Common Oboe Reed Adjustments:

1. Start by assessing the tip opening of the reed. Use a reed gauge to measure the tip opening and ensure it falls within the desired range, typically between 10-12mm. If the tip opening is too small, gently scrape the tip edges to increase the opening. If it is too large, carefully add a few layers of thread around the cork staple to decrease the opening.
2. Next, check the reed’s pitch. Play a scale or a specific note on the oboe and listen for any discrepancies in pitch. If the reed plays too sharp, you can remove some cane from the back and/or shorten the length of the blades. For a flat reed, you can gently scrape the tip area or add some cane to the back.
3. Assess the reed’s response. Play a variety of dynamics and articulations to determine if the reed responds evenly and quickly. If the response is slow or uneven, you can adjust the opening by scraping the tip edges systematically. Be cautious not to take off too much cane, as it may result in a leaky reed.
4. Check the stability of the reed. Observe if the reed holds its pitch and response consistently over an extended period of playing. If the reed becomes unstable or wobbly, it may be a sign that the blades are unbalanced. To fix this, remove small amounts of cane from the heavier blade until they feel more balanced.
5. Finally, examine the overall tone and quality of the reed. Listen for a full, resonant sound without any undesirable qualities such as a nasal or muffled tone. If the tone is not to your liking, you can scrape the heart of the reed to change its vibrancy or adjust the opening to modify the brightness or darkness.
