A quick question on Oboes....

I know there is an Oboe BBoard but It isn't nearly as active as this one and I didn't get many responses on this topic when I posted it there....I am considering switching to the oboe....I have been playing clarinet for 6 years and even though I am not taking private lessons I feel that I would succeed on Oboe more than I have in my 6 years of clarinet. I also feel the competition in college for the clarinet would be alot stronger than on Oboe...I know obes are considerably more exspensive but i think I have a great plan to compensate for that. Of course I am a sophomore in high school right now...and I decided to go with oboe I would get private lessons and get started on oboe as soon as possible. My real question is....would this be a good idea to switch to the oboe this late in HS? I have played the oboe before and I didn't think it was as hard as many say it is....I would need to get rid of all of my clarinet habits...there aren't many as I've practically taught myself. I read music to a preety advanced level so I wouldn't need to work on that as much as technique and tone. Thanks for reading all of this and I welcome anything you can tell me. Thanks!- Corey
