Re: Oh no Oboe

Okay...got the sample oboe in hand, along with the Fox fingering chart. I can get a sound out but this fingering is nuts. To go up one must go down. Hmmm. Learning curve might be more than I have time/willingness to give.

Now looking into the soprano sax as suggested by Chris P. I understand that it is based on the Boehm system? Perhaps it is a little more instinctive. The question then becomes the real necessity for the difference in sound between a clarinet playing a transposed oboe part and a soprano sax playing a transposed oboe part (assuming soprano sax is a Bb instrument).
