For a description of the need to convert metal Shaper Template widths into expected true Reed Widths resulting from damp cane, please read this on the Oboe Templates page.

I should be grateful to any reader, distributor or manufacturer for contacting me please to suggest additions or corrections.

Templates for the Oboe, English Horn, Musette, Bass/Baritone Oboe, Wiener/Viennese Oboe, and Baroque and Classical Oboes may be found from these links, along with the measurements of Shaper-Tips for comparison: Oboe, Oboe d'Amore, English Horn, and Baroque & Classical Oboe.
