Oboe reed making can be one of the most frustrating aspects of playing the oboe. Countless hours can be spent scraping, adjusting, clipping, and testing reeds, only to end up with inconsistent results. That’s why we highly recommend the online reed-making course created by our friend Joseph Shalita.
The Making Oboe Reeds Online Course is a comprehensive, step-by-step video program that teaches the American long-scrape reed-making method from start to finish. Developed by Joseph Shalita, Principal Oboist of the State of Mexico Symphony Orchestra and a reed-making educator with more than 35 years of professional experience, the course covers everything from cane selection and reed anatomy to scraping techniques, troubleshooting, and fine adjustments.
What sets this course apart is its systematic approach. Rather than relying on guesswork, Joe teaches a repeatable process designed to help oboists create reeds that are stable, responsive, and consistent. With dozens of detailed lessons and lifetime access, it is an excellent resource for students, teachers, and professionals looking to improve their reed-making skills and spend less time fighting their reeds.
At Argendonax, we believe that great playing starts with great reeds—and learning from an experienced master like Joe Shalita can dramatically shorten the learning curve and help you achieve more reliable results every day.
