As with the custom made reed, you can also design your own oboe reed.

With my widest shape (RDG 1) to the narrowest (RDG -1) or somewhere in the middle (Mack Pfieffer) you can choose what best suits you.

Staple length (47mm or 46mm). 46mm typically allows you to scrape more and have you pitch sit up if you have found your own reeds to sit low on a 47mm staple.

You can also select the staple material as this directly affects the sound a reed produces. Silver offers a ping and resonance that is better suited for solo work and cutting through the orchestra. Brass is perfect for blending and sectional playing as it provides a warm timbre to the sound.
