RubyReeds

I am a first year graduate at the University of Cincinnati - College Conservatory of Music. I have been playing oboe for 10 years, and making reeds for 5 years now. I have been selling reeds to friends, local students in my hometown, and making reeds for the Oboe Tech class required for Music Education majors at Crane.

As a fourth year student I regularly perform with the Orchestra of Northern New York, Crane Symphony Orchestra, and the Crane Wind Ensemble. I have also performed with the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra, Northern Dutchess Symphony, and the Northern Symphonic Winds. I have recently collaborated with chamber ensembles including Windscape, and performed in masterclasses including Eugene Izotov and Dr. Nancy Ambrose King. I am also an alumnus of the Eastern Music Festival and the Domaine Forget Chamber Festival.

I know how crucial it is to have a well rounded reed, which is why I am here to help! I use Rigotti or Glotin cane which really creates a warm and vibrant tone and gouge on a Dan Ross machine and shaped with a Caleb -1 shaper tip which helps create a comfortable and vibrant reed.

If your reed has arrived cracked, you must notify me with in 48 hours of delivery confirmation. You will be responsible for the shipping back to me, but I will be more than happy to send you a new reed. After you have contacted me and I received shipping confirmation that the cracked reed is on its way back, I will send you the replacement reed.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me! I will be updating my shop soon with shaped cane, gouged cane, and finished reeds.
