 Re: Playing a new oboe outside

I was very, very lucky. Several years ago, I played in a local community concert band on the California Central Coast (Monterey); we had numerous outdoor gigs: Xmas & Big Sur Marathon. The old Loree (HF vintage 1980) just sang when I played it, albeit flat…everybody was, especially the brass…it was cold. No cracks; knock on wood. I kept my two hands on the top tube the whole time I wasn't playing.

The advice in the above posts is spot on. I truly think what saved me was the age of the wood & the fact that the previous owner (Ted Rust) took beautiful care of the instrument. It still plays great today; I've been able to grow into it.

Best,

john
