 Re: Describing oboe tone: a newbie question

And as I like both the bright, buzzy and lively sound and also the thick, heavy and dark sound it's a bit of a dilemma.

Which sound should I make? I have reeds that do both extremes - I like both sounds but really I have to make the sound deemed appropriate for the type of music - though I am biased towards the bright and buzzy.

Though Heinz Holliger gets away with his (excellent) sound playing both Baroque and Berio - so for him one sound suits all.

The diversity of individual oboe playing styles is ginormous - perhaps even more so than any other instrument.

The opinions I express are my own.
