Stay away from synthetic reeds. They are rubbish, overpriced. Cheaper to buy standard reeds. My son hired oboes for a number of years, eventually buying a Yamaha Custom @16. He purchased a secondhand one through his teacher. I was very sceptical about going that Yamaha route, but they are lovely instruments.

Can you please extend the comparisons to the S40, S45, and S50? Or share a link to somewhere that explains the differences? Thanks!
They sound good. What are they made of? What synthetic reeds could she recommend?
Surely none, no one I know who have used these find them acceptable on any level except price
