 Re: How long before an oboe settles down to your playing

I think it's more a case of the player gettng accustomed to the instrument than the instrument settling down. All instruments are different and you'll find one that suits someone else may not suit you. There are some things that do settle down with instruments once they are being played regularly but I think it's more to do with the player adapting.

I also found an older Rigoutat I rebuilt to have a fantastic tone, but for me I found the tuning pretty wild (the upper register and altissimo played very sharp) as I wasn't used to it. If I played it over a longer period and became more familliar with it then I'd learn how to tame it.
