A note from the creators:

"This new English Horn shaper tip was created as a collaboration between two long time friends whose passion for the art of English Horn playing fueled their design. Through this partnership, we have created a tip that provides players with all the qualities that we look for in a great reed. We now make this design available to everyone."

-Thom Moore

"At long last, an English horn shaper tip that provides all the attributes most important to me as an orchestral player. A tight sealing blank, a pure scale you can taste, tonal depth and singing projection."

Testimonials:

“I have been using the WM english horn shaper tip as my “go to” tip ever since I got it. It has depth of sound, along with stability of registers, that I find indispensable in my orchestral life. It is supremely well made and is an absolute gem. Kudos to Thom Moore and Rob Walters for making this available!!”
