RE: Any clarinet/oboe players out there

I am like Don Berger, having picked up the oboe when one was needed in a city orchestra. I played oboe for about 10 years, too and count it all as a blessing. I never learned so much about breath control and musical phrasing with any other instrument. The oboe was a wonderful instructor but a real taskmaster. About the reed, most oboe reeds are made to play more in tune with less reed in the mouth. Oboe is easier to get a sound with more reed, but will sound less quacky with less. Until you have developed your double lip chops you may not notice a difference, but stick with it! The best way is to find a good teacher.
