Re: This oboist says you need to buy a new oboe every 2-5 years? What?

I'm interested in Octave Crow's comment that, for "most professionals", "Excalibur comes out only for concerts". That's never been the case for me, nor has it for anybody I've ever known. Every oboe has different tics, and I can't imagine playing a concert on an oboe I hadn't practiced the material on! (Same for violins, bandoneons, pianos...) I've always kept a very good second instrument in case of emergency, but I wouldn't be comfortable walking on stage with it without at least one rehearsal.

Octave Crow, do you use your best instrument for performance only, or do you know people who do this? I'm flabbergasted but fascinated!
