The Oboe BBoard

Re: I'm A Pre Oboe Beginner

Author: JudyP  Date:   2006-10-08 18:22 Susan, Thanks for your advice. My original thought was to buy an oboe that I might keep for years, but I'm now leaning toward buying cheaper now, doing exactly what you did. My teacher and I decided on a Yamaha 441A (all plastic), and we ordered it through a friend of hers. He could get it for me at a special rate. Turns out that Yamaha is completely sold out of them, and they're backordered until December. Now I'm thinking that it might be better to get a cheaper one. I also think that I'm going to buy a reed or two to practice my embrouchures and "crows". A book I recently bought, "Essential Elements 2000", which has a DVD and 2 CD's, seems to have good instruction on the basics. The DVD is great. Your right, Susan, I don't want the grass to grow under my feet, and you make me feel better about beginning this project at such a late age. Although, I don't think I'm a dinasaur.
