Subj: [DR-L] Amplifying oboe suggestions?
Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2006 21:19:21 -0400

Hi all,

I'll be performing Graham Koehne's "Inflight Entertainment" for
amplified oboe and orchestra next month, and I'd like your input on
the best way to amplify for a live performance. Do you recommend
contact mics or air microphones, and what brand/set-up seems to work
well? I'm mostly concerned about getting the amplified sound as
natural as possible. I'd also like some of freedom of movement so I
don't have to stand completely still.

I haven't talked to the audio engineer at the auditorium yet, as I'd
like your suggestions first. Thanks for your help!
