Re: difference between clarinet and oboe

"Would I switch back to clarinet? Never in a million years."

But there's no harm in studying both instruments or continuing your playing on one while concentrating more intensively on the other (take your pick), it's good to have versatility - and later on perhaps even take on sax and flute too - you'll get plenty of pit work if you double on all, and are competent on all of them.

I'm primarily a sax player, though I studied clarinet, dabbled with flute and have taken up oboe again in the last 10 years.

But do get a specialist teacher on any instrument you want to learn.
