I love the humility of folks on this site!!
Play more, take breaks, warm up well: all good stuff.
I never had a problem with endurance until I had a severe blow to my health, with major fatigue issues in general.
I find I can play -- with breaks -- pretty well, but a really sound warm-up can wipe me out. I'm working on it, which is what you have to do. In bits. Over time, you WILL notice a difference.
I find that the narrow reeds take less 'muscle' both abdominally and mouth-wise, am trying to get used to them, have a ways to go. Will probably need to work more with a 'middle-width' reed to adjust properly.
It's a good idea to make sure your oboe seals well; a qualified technician can check this, or your local oboe guru. A leaky instrument can waste a LOT of energy.
plug on!
PS Thanks for the terrific encouragement Susan, I want to be playing really well by the time I'm a grandmother.
