Oboe reeds are handmade from start to finish with a series of stages over a period of several days.  This process ensures that each reed is stable, reliable, and will not warp. Cane is gouged on a Gilbert gouging machine, shaped on the Caleb shaper tip, and finished on a 47mm natural cork tube.  All reeds are tuned to A=440. 
*Upon request, whole orders of reeds may be tuned differently

English horn reeds are handmade with a similar process, shaped on a Mimi shaper tip (fairly wide, but not as wide as a Falstaff, with a narrow throat to keep the upper octave "up"), and fitted with an aquarium tubing seal.   I personally don't use wires and don't recommend them as they can alter the sound of the reed, but will put them on any reed by request.  
All reeds are tuned to A=440
