<<What if I don't like what *I* sound like?! I'm not sure yet - still working on it...>>
Yeah, that sure sounds like the learning curve :-)
i've found that my sound comes out gradually and has a brief peak period during practice -- practice starts out cold, monotone, flat and blatty, warms up, tunes up, turns cantabile, sweet and lively for a while, then gradual decay sets in with a long down-hill slide into increasingly more notorious oboe noise
my fingering skills have a different peak period ... they take a long time to limber up, and arrive at better and faster moves ... just as my sound has decayed beyond hope for today's practice ]:-[
but i can say now i generally like what i'm getting at the best moments, if my fingers are on top of everything, it's just that the cantabile, sweet & lively phase doesn't last very long yet ... still workin' on it
