Haven't ever been to gatherings where oboe makers display their instruments for test playing, so I'm curious to find out how you folks like to test play new (or used) oboes
do you have a fave way of doing that, change your approach depending on the oboe, zip up and down scales, play spontaneous melodies, test play only certain notes, listen for anything in particular, find it particularly important how it looks, handles or feels, or what? Do you use just one reed on every instrument or do you try out any given instrument with more than one reed?
What hot tips, precautions would you recommend to a newbie browsing oboe display tables?
