First of all, I'm having some difficulty getting my low notes to play, generally a C or below, sometimes a D as well. I can't really play them short or stacato at all. The problem is that those notes just come out as squeaks, not a full rich low sound like it should be.
Secondly, high notes. How can get high notes (B/C and above) to come out full sounding? I can play them but they usually come out very weak and not that loud at all, very faint sounding. Also, advice on play the very high notes? (Above C) The piece I'm working on now, Abram's Pursuit goes *very* high and it just doesn't sound good being so high.
I have a professional oboe and it works great so I'm guessing the reed may be an issue. What type of reed would you suggest playing on the help with both the high and low registers?
BTW, hand making my own/learning from someone or buying them from a local reedmaker is not an option. I'll most likely have to order them online.
Thanks for any help and suggestions!
