Hi all,

Are there any clarinetists/oboe players out there? If so, how challenging
is it to grasp and efficiently play the two. I am a lifetime clarinetist,
but a lot of recorded contemporary gospel music have that oboe sound
included. I'm thinking that maybe on a few selections, I could cross and
play the oboe. If it is not too much of a challenge to teach myself the
oboe.

I guess my questions are: Is it an easy cross between the two? Is the
fingering much like the clarinet, etc.? All feedback would be appreciated.

Dorothy Clark
Have A Blessed Day!
