WINFIELD REEDS

I was from birth, destined to be involved in the world of the oboe. My father, Michael was at the time in the Halle orchestra, so I grew up to the sound of an oboe, I took it up at the age of 11, my father teaching me both the oboe and reed making, meanwhile making some extra pocket money gouging and shaping cane for my father... During my third year at the Royal College of Music I joined the Royal Liverpool Philarmonic as second oboe, moving down to London after four years to freelance, where I started my reed business. After a very happy seven years I then moved to Cardiff... Nick Winfield : oboe reeds and cane. The uk's premier reed maker.
