Get out! I sure was duped into thinking he was actually playing! But then, I
took it at face value and didn't really scrutinize the "choreography"
between his fingers and the sound.

Come to think of it though, it did occur to me that an awful lot of his
reed's cork was showing. I think he didn't push it all the way into the reed
socket!

So the commercial is a LIE????? Wow. I think it's very interesting that the
NFL would pay (probably) $5,000,000 to tell the public a lie!

I thought it was very obvious from the commercial, only if you are an oboe
player, that he did not play the oboe. As he is moving his fingers, they
are not making the fingerings I was taught and recognize.
