Staples for reed making
Oboe staples, English horn staples, oboe d’amore staples and Baroque oboe staples. At EG-REEDS you will find staples for reed making from Chiarugi, Guercio, Uwe Henze and K.GE.
The staple is the base on which the cane is tied. Its length, opening and material affect the response and intonation of the reed. To buy staples with confidence, start with the instrument and then compare brand, length and material.
If you also need cane, review the processed cane category before placing your order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a staple?
It is the tube on which the cane is tied to make a reed. It is not a finished reed; it is the metal base used for tying.
What types of staples can I find at EG-REEDS?
- Oboe staples: models for making oboe reeds.
- English horn staples: compatible with English horn reeds.
- Oboe d'amore staples: for oboe d'amore reeds.
- Baroque oboe staples: for Baroque oboe reeds.
How do I choose an oboe staple?
Start with the instrument, then compare length, brand, material and availability. The choice should match your reed making setup and the response you are looking for.
Can I use the same staple for oboe and English horn?
No. Each instrument needs a compatible staple. Do not mix staples for oboe, English horn, oboe d'amore or Baroque oboe.
What changes between different staple lengths?
The main difference is length. In general, a shorter staple can tend to raise pitch and a longer one can tend to lower it, although the final result also depends on the cane, tying, scrape, instrument and player.
