Re: Oh no Oboe

The oboe would be fun to learn if you have the time, but why don't you just transpose the parts to Bb if you want to jump right in? This is a very valuable skill for clarinet players as pretty much no one plays a C clarinet - the only one in town I'm aware of is HORRIBLE, our 2nd clarinet player borrowed it since she didn't want to transpose the Moldau and it was awful.

Just my thought- if you can't transpose on sight and aren't interested in learning - there are many transposing programs available (lilypond is free), or you could pay to have a few pieces transposed for much less than a C clarinet!

Good luck
