Emerald Oboe Reed- Medium Soft - 2024 report by Whydis
Emerald Oboe Reed- Medium Soft
The Emerald Reed Companies 601MS Oboe Reed is one of their most popular reeds on the market and is made from the finest French cane available. Medium Soft Oboe Reed Sold Individually.
The reed sounds great - I haven't played my oboe in years though and lost all my cheek
We also tried a couple of the "Jones Oboe Reed Medium Soft", also though Amazon, and they were pretty good
My daughter's oboe instructor liked the sound these reeds produced, but we did end up with quite a few cracked reeds, either right out of the package or with minimal, proper use.
This is her first year playing the oboe and she likes these best

It does not play the correct sound for each note and breaks easily
Excellent sound and now my daughter is really moving forward with her learning
Finding a reed proved to be a torture: do not last too long, eyes' popping sound generation, squeaky sound, etc
I have recently switched to mostly playing on synthetic reeds, but when I need a darker, "wooden" sound I use either one of these or Marlin Lesher (though Lesher's quality has gone downhill, I've noticed)
I have purchased a number of these reeds, always hoping for the best, and usually get a superior sound
