The Jones 101MS is a student oboe reed in medium-soft strength — a solid go-to for players in their first years on the instrument. Medium-soft means the cane is scraped a bit thinner, so it responds with less resistance and makes it easier to produce a sound while your embouchure is still developing.
Each reed is made from French cane and features an American-style long scrape for stability across the standard range of the oboe. The cane is wound with red string onto a 47mm staple, hand finished, and individually tested before packaging. Jones recommends starting with Medium Soft or Medium strength during the first year, then moving up to Medium Hard or their Artist Series as your embouchure grows. If you're just getting started, this is a sensible place to begin.
