Re: oboe sound question

i've read somewhere that after playing awhile (i think that means decades) one develops one's own characteristic playing voice and every reed and oboe sound like the playing voice, because the player has acquired the necessary skills to masterfully adjust very fast to all the many variables -- so after becoming very familiar with an oboist's characteristic playing voice, listeners can identify them from other players sight unseen

it's like virtuoso violinists, they bow and interpret differently which makes for a uniquely identifiable style of playing
