Awesome! My junior oboe was a Howarth, so I know how great they are Have a full size Fox, but I still think that Howarths are better- enjoy it!

You're English with an American oboe

Anyway, I played on my friend's Fox one day, they're quite good. What's yours? Fox 300 perhaps? 450?

Fox 300, but I have a Tipple medium soft reed that doesn't make a that great sound with the Fox- have to use reeds that I'm not great fans with, too hard.
Interracial oboe time :D

I've gotten into making my own reeds, it's a good thing to do since in the long run it's much cheaper and you can make reeds exactly how you like them to sound good on whatever oboe.

Dang, wish I could. Paying £25 (Covert that to dollars ) for a reed that I don't know will work is just unbearable sometimes...

You can always adjust them if you like them/they play well but they're too thick. Just buy a reed knife, I'd recommend a Rigotti or Landwell double hollow ground, then you can buy books or ask your lesson teacher about how to adjust reeds, you'd probably want to scrape out the back and the tip, and maybe the heart of the ones you were talking about and they should sound and play well and feel comfortable.
