Since its beginning in 1990, the major focus of Jeanne Inc. has been the development and precision manufacturing of the highest quality of reed tools and accessories. When the first shaper tips for oboe and English horn entered the market in 1991, they were quickly adopted by many of the top professional oboists in the major orchestras of the United States and Canada.For the first time, shaper tips were manufactured at extremely close tolerances and with the necessary hardness to maintain those dimensions, through the use of electronic discharge machines.

Today the gouge is probably the least understood aspect of oboe reed making. While the shape controls pitch placement, the gouge affects the overall stability of the reed as well as its response, timbre, dynamic flexibility and tip opening. With the correct interior properties of the gouge, the scrape of the reed becomes secondary in importance.
Instrument swabs from Jeanne are made of 100% China silk for greater absorbency without worry of any roughness to the bore. The swabs have a unique shape for each particular instrument and joint. The material is hand-washable and the edges are finished to prevent fraying. Swabs are available in five colors: black, royal blue, royal purple, red, and turquoise.
