Volume 2

“This second volume of “The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Oboe Reedmaking” is an advanced edition designed for those seeking to master the art of reedmaking. While Volume 1 was based on a process‑driven approach, Volume 2 expounds on the principles of listening and quality control, including advanced reed adjustment and cane and reed blank construction. Author and professional oboist Ann Rosandich of Local 9-535 (Boston, MA) has added a lesson on reed customization and design and precise gouger adjustments. The book contains over 235 color illustrations and photographs of the reedmaking process. Editor Alan Weiss, also of Local 9-535, is a professional flutist.” RESOURCES page of the International Musician, January 2024 edition (p. 15)
