Bocal Majority, Oboe Reed - #2

New

Bocal Majority Oboe Reed #2

Oboe Reed #2 is a nice, easy to play reed that has a little bit more left on, compared to the #1 reed. So if your player is getting into the second octave, this would be a great reed to move up to from the #1. It's still easy to make a sound on this reed. Usually for players who prefer a clear, responsive reed.

Oboe Reed #2. 55% resistance/45% flexibility. Pleasant, easy tone. String multi color; colors vary & are not guaranteed to look like picture. Tip opening: smaller. If out of stock, try #3 or #1. 

Made by a well respected oboist in Dallas with 40+ years reedmaking. String color varies.

Tip opening: smaller (easier blowing & slightly less mouth pressure). If your player uses slightly more lip pressure or if they feel the #2 is "too easy" and they need just a LITTLE BIT more resistance, go to Oboe Reed #3, which is the sister reed to Oboe Reed #2. That one has a bit more resistance and a bit more open tip.

Bocal Majority has a unique system for naming their reeds. They assign them a number based on criteria about their levels of resistance. The numbers on this chart show the percentage of resistance in the reed on the left, and the percentage of flexibility in the reed on the right.
