The Oboe BBoard

Re: New Members and Lurkers

Author: JudyP  Date:   2008-01-01 20:36 Others could probably tell you more about this, but there are oboes which are made of half wood and half plastic. Also, my Fox Renard is the only oboe I have ever played, but I have heard it played by professionals. I can't tell the difference in the tone from other, more expensive (wooden) oboes. I like the peace of mind of not worrying about a crack. I have lately wondered if different oboes have different comfort levels of playing as far as the weight and keys. Are all oboes the same? They must not be the same as I have heard that the custom of buying an oboe at a website is to be sent several to try before purchase. And nothing beats the sweet sound of a Marigeaux....or is it a Covey. I heard one of them. Don't remember which one, but I think it was a Marigeaux. Another good plastic oboe (so I've heard) is the Fox 300. You might check it out. It is a full conservatory oboe while the Fox Renard is a modified (good enough for me) conservatory oboe. Here is the Fox website: http://www.foxproducts.com/
