The Oboe BBoard

Author: DressedToKill  Date:   2006-08-05 04:04 It is immensely lighter than grenadilla, and much more comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. It's also extraordinarily beautiful. As for the effect on the sound, I happen to firmly believe that the body material is totally irrelevant. Others disagree...it's the oldest debate in wind-dom. Rosewood does have a tendency to crack a bit more than grenadilla, but with proper care, this should not be a concern. And did I mention it's gorgeous? (first pic is a Fossati cocobolo oboe and violetwood English horn from their website; other photos are my own personal rosewood clarinet and VERY unstained grenadilla English horn) Post Edited (2006-08-05 04:06)
