 Re: The "Flexibility" of Oboes, Tone Color, Reeds and the Player

Put me in group B, albeit with a need to 'work out' to strengthen the ol' embouchure more...

I AGREE; it's easy to sling advice around without taking all the factors into consideration. The Oboe is definitely one instrument that acknowledges the uniqueness of every player, so what works for Jim J may not work for Sally S and so forth.

May I encourage every amateur player out there to get a good foundation by learning skills from a competent/trained/professional teacher? That can make ALL the difference in making the most of your playing. A great book (or blog) won't give you (as a player) the individual feedback you need to go from 'decent' to 'great' Neither will simply switching brands, whether oboe or reed-making supply.

So get a good mentor and keep growing!

PS I didn't even know there was a 'my profile' tab...
