Understanding the Oboe Reed

Understanding the Oboe Reed is a book written by Graham Salter and it was released during the IDRS convention in Granada in 2019.

Investigating breath support, vibrato and reed-making refinements across the world's major styles, this unique and comprehensive book explains perfect intonation in both scales along with choices of cane, staple, gouger, shaper, knife & profiler, to offer predictable control over every aspect of tone and response.

He held the position of Cor Anglais at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden after that of Principal Oboe in the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, records in the film studios, and has performed as a guest with every major orchestra in Britain. A former Editor for BDRS / DRN, he gives masterclasses and tuition widely, plays recitals choosing between five sizes of the modern oboe, and appears regularly as a concerto soloist.
