"...one could comment on thinner tone..."

Which brings back the eternal thin/full/fat/shrill sound debate! You see, for me, Mayer (and german sound in general) is as far away as you ca get from "thin". I know some US oboists who people describe as having a "rich full tone", and who I find sound "empty and hollow"(but who's phrasing and technique I absolutely admire). Tone quality is just so personal...

And As Vboboe said... thanks for this post. I absolutely loved watching (and actually understanding) it!
