Subj: single reed oboe?
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 1997 17:53:43 -0500

Enquiring minds want to know. OK, as long as someone else started
this thread, I'll ask if anyone ever heard of an oboe with clarinet-
type keywork...therefore with clarinet fingering. I suppose it might
be single reed, but the person who mentioned this didn't specify.
This person also was given to joshing me a bit, from time to time.
It could be the musical equivilant of a jackalope, for all I know.
Snipe hunting, anyone? (No, no...they don't really hunt snipe, they
just raise them for the snipe oil, which is used on squeeky minks.)
