Emerald Oboe Reeds - Medium/Hard

Emerald EOMH oboe reeds bring that familiar Emerald balance of stability and warmth, tailored here in a Medium/Hard strength for players who like a bit more resistance to lean into. With their signature emerald-green thread and half-moon American scrape, these reeds feel dialed-in and ready to support focused, controlled playing.

Features

This Medium/Hard Emerald oboe reed is built around a half-moon American scrape profile, designed to deliver a stable response and a warm, centered tone. The slightly firmer strength gives you something solid to push against, which many advancing and serious players appreciate for dynamic control and pitch security.

Emerald oboe reeds are known for their consistency and reliability, so you can move between rehearsals, lessons, and performances with a familiar feel under your fingers. The distinct emerald-green thread not only makes them easy to spot in your case, it also carries the long-standing reputation of Emerald Reed Co., which has been offering affordable, high-quality oboe reeds for many decades.

Tone

The half-moon American scrape on this Medium/Hard reed leans into a stable, warm sound that stays composed when you push the air. It offers a solid core to the tone, helping lines speak with clarity while keeping the overall color on the rich, rounded side rather than thin or edgy. It’s the kind of response that encourages confident attacks, steady pitch, and a singing upper register.
