Reed-making

Reed-making is a necessary companion to playing the oboe.  An oboist makes their own reeds so they can have more control over their playing.  However, learning to make reeds can lead to frustration for the beginning reed-maker.  

​I hope to provide some help to those in the midst of that frustration.
