European Scrape Oboe Signature

European scrape signature oboe reed

Any of the Legere reeds I have tried tend to start out a bit flat, but, the more I play on the reed, the pitch comes up and stabilizes. There is not consistency between reeds and some leak. However, a good alternative for someone like myself who, due to health conditions, am no longer able to make my own.

Great response!

I've used this MS European scrape for a couple of weeks now, my first trial of Legere reeds, and find the response to be overall good, stable in the upper register but a bit hesitant in the lower register. The intonation is even, and the tone is warm, I just wish it had more volume, I really have to work to get a true forte! At this point, it'll be a good practice reed. I did just order an American scrape, so hoping for a bit better response overall.

Medium soft is more like medium hard

I wanted to like this reed. Very happy with the American scrape mefium soft, but the European medium soft is not medium Soft in my opinion.
