This reed is one of my personal favorites! This reed is very reliable! It is almost perfect when you take it out of the package. It is one of the best commercially made reeds that I have ever used. I find that these reeds always come in handy the day of a concert when you just broke your regular reed. (We have all been there.) Of course everyone has different reed needs but I find that this reed is great for almost every student player looking for a great reed.

I got two new reeds by Lesher. These reeds make your sound soar with a fullness and richness the oboe deserves. Also, once you find that pitch and perfect placement of the reeds, they stay in tune (just about). HOWEVER, not all is perfect. I don't know if it was the particular two I brought, but you have to SOAK these reeds for a looong time-- me: for at least...7-10min or more. Also, they kept trying to close on me and always dry out if you're not playing constantly. Best if played in a warmer, humid room. Other than that, I'm going to try Berlin P. reeds just to make sure.
