 Re: oboe vs bassoon

I have never played an oboe but played a lot on the bassoon. But the trick I learnt early on was dump the stupid expensive double reed and get a mouth piece. Thse are available for about US$50 fit nicely on the end of the crook and take an inexpensive clarinet reed. The beauty here is the reeds can be changed at negligble cost to the strength required. The MPC also protects the reed.
The sound produced is almost identical to the cane double, or is if anything slightly warmer. Depends on the type reed used.
