Description
This is the professional version of the hugely popular RAD Oboe Reed range…a high quality, premium reed with a full and rich tone. The Rad Professional reeds are the sweetest, finest playing reeds of the batch. These are reeds the maker would choose to play on for his professional orchestral or solo performances.
This means the selection of the Professional RAD reed is based on beauty of tone, quality and the flexibility the reed offers. The Professional RAD reed gives you the feeling of having no limitations for the crafting and shaping of the music the way you want to play it.
These reeds are beautifully made; the blades line up, the aperture is nicely arched, the cane is evenly scraped and quality Chiarugi staples are used.
Professional RAD reeds are played by professional oboists – we have been proud to supply them to musicians in many of the major professional Orchestras in Melbourne and interstate, semi-professional and free-lance players and to University Music Students including Masters and PhD level performance musicians.

Duncan –
I have enjoyed playing on your reeds and they suit my instrument well and have received compliments about the lovely sound. I find them particularly good down low.
Cheers!
Andrew Jacobs –
The medium hard RAD reeds are of the best quality reeds I have ever tried. Beautiful dark sound with excellent response. I commend Andrew Angus, he makes seriously good reeds!
Emma –
Andrew makes the best reeds and Sweet Reeds sends them so fast!
Carolyn Morris –
Thanks for sending the reeds and music so quickly! I pulled out one of the RAD professional reeds and it plays like a dream straight away. Andrew Angus is making great reeds! I’m going to do a home recording soon of a new piece, so I’ll be playing the new reed!
