So there I was. Moment was finally mine when I am good enough to choose my own oboe and I am surrounded by (insert any brand oboe) I was having trouble with hearing the sound between two oboes and I asked someone to help. They sent their "pro" oboist who travels far and wide and is very well known and wanted on the Eastern Canadian scene. They kept explaining how amazing and greatly wanted this person is. I was happy to meet another oboist (since there are not many of us in Canada). When this person played I was shocked by how disappointed I was, the player sounded like a clarinet!!!! I was there for an hour and a half and I got to know a bit of their sound.
I am scared for my future. My sound is the oboe sound. This person came out soft and muffled ..they had a nice vibrato I will give them that but damn. So clarinet sound is what is all the rage now? SIGH. Well it is up to me to be a person who won't stand for that. I may not be what many look for but I will hold out until the fad fades.
