About your double reed

A reed is a thin strip of material which vibrates with air to produce a sound on a musical instrument. The reeds required for Oboes, Bassoons and English Horns are called double reeds, and consist of two pieces of Arundo donax cane fastened together with an opening at the tip. A double reed will have much more influence on the sound of the instrument than single reeds, so it is almost as important to own a good double reed than it is to own a good instrument.

Some of our favourite makers

Based in Lyon, France, BG sells one of the best Oboe and English Horn pad dryers on the market: made with microfibre, it lasts for more than 5 years without tearing. They’re just as well-known for their Warmer, a silk, fleece and microfibre case which keeps instruments warm in cold venues, such as churches or air-conditioned places, preventing cracks in the wood.
