Oboists should always have more than one reed, especially beginners. A single reed can change from day to day depending on humidity, temperature, or how much the student has practiced. Sometimes a reed will suddenly feel harder, close up, or even chip and when a beginner only has one, their entire practice or lesson becomes impossible.
A bundle of five solves that problem. With multiple reeds, students can rotate them throughout the week so no single reed gets overused. This makes every reed last longer and keeps the player from relying on just one. If something goes wrong — a crack, a chip, or a reed that suddenly stops responding — there are still four backups ready to go. It removes stress, keeps practice consistent, and ensures the student can always play, no matter what one reed decides to do that day.
Having a set of five isn’t about having “extras”; it’s about making sure the player always has a working reed so they can keep learning, developing their sound, and staying confident.
