I wrote to a friend of mine who is studying at Oberlin.
Alex Klein:
1. Does not gouge thin in the center, nor does he gouge thin on the sides. Instead, he uses a normal gouging setup
2. Does not make reeds that crow a Bb. They crow a C, and he scolded my friend who makes flat reeds.
3. Does not bite up his reeds. He scolded her for biting as well.
4. Uses a RDG 2 shape, and doesn't understand how the rest of the American oboe world can use such narrow shapes.
5. Can not jump over buildings with a single leap.
6. Can indeed play an entire beethoven symphony, all orchestral parts, simultaneously, in one breath, with just his oboe.
