A friend of my band director composed a piece that my high school band is playing for the first time live, and it contains a brilliant English Horn solo. I, was elected to play the English Horn on the song. I am using a nearby college's wooden F. Loree English Horn, and it is brand new. My oboe teacher (professor of oboe at the college I am borrowing the EH from), gave me the EH and a couple of reeds to use that she made. I wasn't able to have a practice session with her on the EH, so I just took it home that night. When I played, the sound was REALLY weak. It was very, very, very quiet. Before you say anything, I myself am not a bad oboe player. I am the principal oboist of my local Youth Orchestra's top band, so that probably wouldn't be the reason why I sound so bad on EH. I am playing it with an oboe embouchure, and I am wondering if that is the reason it sounds so strange. Help would be appreciated... :D
