Random Oboe Links

Semplice Harbor School of Music--I highly recomend this if you're in the Wisconsin area and in high school. The folks who run this are some of the nicest people I've ever run into.

Music Evolution On Oboe--A fair amount of oboe mp3s.

About the Oboe and Bassoon

International Double Reed Society--You know 'em you love 'em... the famous International Double Reed Society.

Brian Moses' Double Reed Suppliers Index --Wow. A lot of plain old info here.

Wizards Double Reed Consort--Home of the double reed group Wizards!

Young Composers--While not necessarily an oboe link, check out the works of young composers across the world.

A Beginner's Encyclopedia of Playing the Oboe--The layout is kinda inefficient, but threre's a lot of useful information.

Ellistrations--An embroidery site with a musical flare... I wouldn't personally wear an oboe hat, part of being an oboist is maintaining an aloof coolness :), but what the hell, if someone sends me a link to their site I'll put it up.

Commercial Links

Stellar Oboe Products--While "stellar" might be overdoing it, I'll let you decide for yourself. I've tried their oboe and english horn reeds and was pretty satisfied.

Oboe Products

Midwest Musical Imports--Good reedmaking kits as well as a variety of double reed instruments. You can order by e-mail.

Music Trader

Selmer Oboes--though you might want to avoid them...

Charles Double Reed

Covey Oboes--Need to buy something? You can probably find it here.

Amoris International--A nice place to buy sheet music or recordings.

Howarth of London--Lookin' to by a good quality insturment? This isn't a bad place to start.

Bill Roscoe Double Reeds--A fairly decent supplier. This site has some interesting "Test Kits" that you can buy.

Forrest's Music--Another MEGA site. You can buy anything from reed supplies to sheet music and recordings.

Allan Double Reeds--They carry my personal favorite store bought reeds, Marlin Lesher Pro's. Though they don't appear to be in business on the web anymore, I assume you can still purchase stuff from them.

Sheet Music Plus--Do you need sheet music? I'm betting you can find what you need here.
