Subj: [DR-L] Blown out oboes
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2007 13:44:52 -0400

My take on this is slightly different. It's not that the crappy notes
get blown out, but the exact opposite: according to what I understand
about this theory, the more you play on it, the crappier the notes
become. IOW, a "blown out" instrument is either all or mostly just
crappy notes. That's one of the reasons why the theory is used by
unscrupulous sales persons to get the gullible people who believe it
to buy new instruments. I had a Laubin oboe that I played on
constantly for more than 30 years, and it wasn't any worse after all
that time than it was when I played it for the very first time.

Have a happy!

David
