Re: Switching to baroque oboe

Mmmh, not sure to understand the meaning of AR$$ .
Perhaps you refer to that joke saying that an example of second minor is a couple of baroque oboe playing the same note ;-) ?

Anyway my approach is near to Duchy's one i.e. if I can reach a really affordable baroque oboe I'll be happy to play around with it, maybe using English Horn reeds.
And I wonder if it should be really hard to play the baroque oboe when you are used to the modern one.

Concerning the tuning there is a lot of people using copies of old instruments, not only oboes, tuned at 440 ; of course they care not so much about to be philological .
