Re: Clarinetist has question for Oboe player!

When i was renewbie 2004 my local music store had copy of 1983 book Practical Hints on Playing the Oboe by Earl L Clemens in collaboration with James D Ployhar. I found it a useful and informative refresher for myself, and, although outdated in some things and therefore not to be taken 100% in everything, it tells you seemingly obvious but not often explained practical things like:

how to open the case
assemble the oboe
care & maintenance (nowadays silk oboe swobs replace feathers)
choosing a good reed (brand new beginners needn't worry about C-reeds right away, they can't hold a steady tone yet)
playing position
embouchure formation (open to considerable controversy nowadays, just remember that's how Clemens personalised his own embouchure and you're not him, but you've got to start somewhere, compare with instructions in Essential Elements)
fingering chart
scales
etc.

a quick google online using search words clemens ployhar found it's still for sale out there and very comfortably priced too
