ArgenPlus Synthetic Oboe Reed Staples

Professional Synthetic Staples Designed for Power, Projection, and Precision

The ArgenPlus Synthetic Oboe Reed Staples represent a modern evolution in reed making, combining advanced synthetic technology with professional-grade brass construction. Developed and refined through over 20 years of practical use at Argendonax, these staples deliver consistency, durability, and acoustic performance that traditional cork simply cannot match.

Why ArgenPlus Synthetic Staples Outperform Cork?

Exceptional Cleanliness:

Unlike cork, which absorbs oils, dirt, and residue, ArgenPlus staples are made from specialized synthetic polymers that naturally repel contaminants. This results in cleaner reeds, reduced maintenance, and greater long-term consistency.

Outstanding Longevity:

Synthetic staples have proven to last up to ten times longer than cork alternatives. They resist cracking, drying, and structural degradation, maintaining reliable performance under demanding professional use.

Superior Sound Transmission:

Synthetic materials transmit vibration efficiently, allowing the reed and instrument to respond freely. Cork absorbs and dampens sound energy; ArgenPlus staples preserve clarity, responsiveness, and projection.

Professional Construction & Acoustic Design

-Brass Construction
Crafted from brass for a powerful yet darker tonal character, significantly darker than silver—ideal for players seeking warmth, depth, and focus.

-47 mm Length
A professional standard length that makes reaching A = 441 Hz easier in orchestral settings, offering greater pitch stability without excessive scraping or compromise.

-Thin-Wall Design
Thin-wall construction promotes freer vibration, resulting in a bigger sound with enhanced projection.

-Polished Professional Finish
Fully finished professional-grade staples, not unfinished student models. The polished surface ensures consistency, reliability, and ease of use.

-Scoring Lines for Cane Adhesion
Integrated scoring lines improve cane traction and long-term adherence during tying and use.

-Excellent Mandrel Compatibility
Designed for precise fitment on Glotin, Lorée, and other similar-diameter mandrels, ensuring consistency across professional reed-making setups.
