Ben’s amazing oboe reed case and oboe reed adjusting knife

With his permission, I proudly present the amazing work of my son, Ben, who sometimes wanders into the garage and with some scrap wood lying around came up with this…

Oboe reed case – Original design by Ben

And over the Easter weekend, he made an oboe reed knife made from an old planer blade and scrap wood and minimal help from dad and a bunch of research on-line.

Then he proceeded to trim and adjust old worn out reeds to playable status!
