Christmas is just around the corner and the celebrations are many: Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, the Three wise men or Santa Claus … Surely you will also participate with some friends or family in games like “the invisible friend”. Either way, we give you the ideas to succeed with that friend who is an oboist;) All the gifts you see below have a very good price and will undoubtedly make his/her life easier and better.

1. Oboe reeds pack: undoubtedly the most necessary instrument to make the oboe sound and emit a beautiful sound. In Medina Reeds you can find them for different levels: oboe reeds for intermediate students, for professionals, for beginners students, a special Jaime González reed model and even personalized oboe reeds.

2. Canes for oboe: If you want to give a really useful material, we invite you to get our canes for oboe. They will use it to create their own reeds and they are made with the best material: Selection.
The Selection material, as its own name indicates, is a material selected by ourselves following parameters of: hardness, flexibility, appearance of the fibers, color … between materials of different brands. We choose among all, the best and most beautiful pieces. We have different models: without form, with form, for students, for English horn … If you do not know which one to choose, ask us!

3. Interchangeable staple Set Chiarugi: both tudeles and tudeleros are useful for any oboist, but this set is undoubtedly the most complete and a great gift for oboists.
It consists of four bases with different sizes, so that there are tudeles finished at 45, 46, 47, or 48 mm.

models more professional. The maximum price in Medina Reeds is € 60.00 but there are many cheaper options. With the razor you will get the right reed shape because it has a high quality blade and a handle with good grip.
