Oboe and English Horn Reeds from Chicago Reed Company







		For use with oboe, English horn and clarinet reduces muscular stress and possible injury light, easy-to-use no attachment to instrument flexible weight adjustment, from no weight to nearly full weight of the instrument durable, made to last	As a teacher of oboe and English horn, I have long been aware of arm and wrist problems. Until now, I have felt that the devices available were either awkward or difficult to deal with, especially when the need arose to clean or adjust the instrument. This new device has none of these drawbacks, as well as being widely adjustable as to the amount of support desired. For anyone who is having problems with arm or wrist tenderness or stiffness, I suggest giving it a try. Happy practice hours! —Grover Schiltz, Former Solo English horn, Chicago Symphony Orchestra This device is a wonderful alternative to the old neck strap. As an Alexander Technique teacher/ musician, I think this is a must try for any English horn player. You can leave your neck free; you can take as much weight off your hands as you desire, without having to compromise your best sitting position. —John Henes, Alexander Technique Instructor, Northwestern University/De Paul University, and Former member of the Lyric Opera of Chicago Orchestra Although I have never advocated the use of the neck strap or other weight bearing devices for soprano clarinet I feel that this device has many advantages for those who experience pain from tension and over use without the disadvantages of unnatural position and confinement. —Larry Combs, Principal Clarinet, Chicago Symphony For more information or to order call: 847.328.2492 email: chicagoreedcompany5@gmail.com www.chicagoreedcompany.com
