 Re: Video of immense historical value

As a Brit, I have to come to the defence of Dame Evelyn's elbows here... they are *completely normal* to a British person! (and a European?) In fact, on the occasions when I see an American oboist playing (eg. on TV or in person), I am quite astonished at how you guys hold your instruments so close to your body - how on earth do you breathe?! It looks to me more like clarinettists hold their instruments - elbows in, chin quite tucked in, looks very constricted to me.

Incidentally, I am a big fan of Ke Xun Ge reeds - and I find them pretty much the darkest I can get over here. Most British reeds are much brighter - closer to the sound Dame E. is making.
