Well I cannot comment on a preferred sound in the USA and I know you have a constant debate over the "Philidelphia Sound" and the "Cleveland Sound" but I am slightly horrified to read that the "Famous Schools" as you refer to them ask their students to only play Loree Oboes..that simply wouldn't happen in Europe..Marigaux, Loree, Rigoutat, Howarth are all seen regularly at the Academys here..its such a personal thing, and not everyone likes the same as everyone else. And isn't it good advice from Peter Hurd who says "Buy the Oboe and not the Name"
..As an interesting little point, Rigoutat are very popular in France but not so much here in England though we do have players who use them including my first teacher, Howarths are very popular here and are seen a lot not that I have ever played one.. Equally I don't think I have ever seen or heard a Laubin or Hinneker who are by all reports and by the reviews I have read here the Holy Grail of Oboes in the USA, the waiting list alone bears testament to that.
I know Loree are very popular in the USA but for a conservatoire to insist that people play them is a bit strong, mind you Alain will be thrilled. Surely It all comes down to what is available at the time and what suits the player.
