Well, I'll confess to being a new lurker. I found this board via google a few weeks ago during my obsessive search to learn what I can about the oboe.

About 36 years ago I played oboe a bit in high school. That was my instrument of preference but my director had me play clarinet more often than not.
I have not touched one since.

In the meantime, I've played or play- piano, organ, great highland bagpipes, Scottish tenor drum, Irish tin whistle, shuttlepipes and other odd and various stuff. Music has and always will be a big part of my life.

Skip forward to this fall. I attended a local community orchestra concert and was bitten by the "bug". I drug out my clarinet, tooted around a bit, and gave myself a dope slap- why are you doing this? I never really liked it. I do really love oboe.

Uh oh, slight problem there, since I don't have one......yet...

So, I compromised by playing tympani, but I've got to find an oboe and see if I can even still get a sound out of one.

It will be a while before I can get one, primarily because I bought a new baby grand this past summer so my "oboe fund" is in the growing stage.
While it grows I'm trying to learn what I can by reading.

I am in a very rural area and there are no resources for one on one advice.
This board is very helpful for folks like myself.

I have no idea what to even start looking for, but I'm learning, thanks to you folks.

Keep it up and I'll keep reading.
