Cor anglais Reed Blank
Le Roseau Chantant reed blanks (tied-on only unscraped reeds) are made with superior quality cane in medium hard (MH), medium (M), and medium-soft (MS) strengths. (The MH reeds are sometimes made with harder cane.)
– For German-style reeds we recommend RC 1, RC 1N, or RC 1N* shapes mounted on Chiarugi #2 staples.
– For French-style reeds we recommend RC 2 ou RC 3 shapes mounted on Chiarugi #3 staples. These reeds are available in three different gouge strengths: Medium Soft (MS), Medium (M) and Medium Hard (MH).
We apply varying measurement relationships between the centre and the sides of the reed, depending on the cane qualities and the desired reed strength.
Our selection of reed blanks (tied-on only unscraped reeds) gives oboists an opportunity to try out several different Roseau Chantant shapes.
