 Re: What sort of oboe do you play and why

Hi play Marigaux.

Simple answer is my teacher played one. At the time I had a lark so anything could be better than that was about 38 years.

Currently on a M2 this my third Marigaux, and my seventh oboe.

1 the tone is sweet and smooth.
2 M2 key work is just easy on my fingers ergonomically.
3 The members in the orchestra like the sound.

I have tried howorth XM and I would have bought it as it pitch is very much spot on, but my fingers just could not work with it.

I just not understand why the top oboe makers make different size oboe key work for different size hands. Like you can get different size bike frames for different size body's.

Playing the oboe is the only instrument I play and it's only a hobby to me. I am 58. And have being playing the last 8 years this time around and loving it more and more.

Thanks Nicholas
