 Re: Playing on the Tip/Reed Style

I think it is difficult to tell how much reed an oboist is actually taking past their lips by just looking at the position of the lips on the reed. As my teacher says, when the embouchure is in action, you can't see what's going on inside a person's mouth, which is what makes it so difficult to demonstrate just how to do it, in the first place.

And then, there are lips, and there are LIPS -- full lips are going to appear to function differently on the reed than thin ones. And I think a lot of players may actually *start* on the tip, or around the tip, but then roll in for intonation or covering purposes. Very few oboe pieces lie exclusively in the lower range of the instrument, so I would guess that most oboists we observe will have rolled in to some degree. But that doesn't mean they aren't orienting their embouchure to the tip.

Right now, I'm thinking that the "playing on the tip" mostly means to use control of the tip as a starting point, or a jumping off place, for tone production. The embouchure has to be flexible, and not "stuck" in one place.
