Of course I know very well factors other than reeds affect the tone one
produces on the oboe (or on the bassoon for that matter). Does that make
Mr. Still any more capable of approaching Mr. Holliger's virtuosity on the
oboe? Brighter tone --> faster technique? I don't think so.
A bit of sour grape from a less capable (but by no means not good) oboist I
suppose.
