Re: older oboes

For a clarinettist I'd recommend a thumbplate system as the full conservatory oboe will be too alien for you. On a clarinet going from low C D E to F# would be the same fingering on the oboe going from a G A B to C. To get a C on a conservatory instrument would be like fingering an E with first finger right hand down...
