1) 46, Sweden.

2) Playting in an orchestra.

3) New Yamaha 431, 4 years. I don´t think Yamahas are very popular in Sweden.

4) 442 and I think is is the standard in Sweden.

5) I do my reeds by myself, but the ones that my teacher produce are better. They are about 71 mm, hard and short scrape.

6) I tried several oboes, but 4 years ago the Yamaha was the best suitable for me (nice sound and not so expensive).

7) It is easy to play on and the sound is nice. Due to the European type of bore, it is very easy to play the low notes but more difficult on the high notes. No cracks and only one major service.

8) I will buy a new oboe next year and my first choice just now is a Rigoutat (I have a friend who have a Rigoutat).
