With my orchestra we're playing the Dvorak Symphony 7/2 in D minor, im playing the second oboe part and have been recommended to find a mute from somewhere. does anyone know where i can get them from, or how to make one?

An Oboe mute? This is the first time I've heard of a mute for the oboe. If there is one, how does it/would it work? You can't stick it in the bell, can you?

you can't mute woodwind instruments...by their nature. the only note it could possible work on is low Bb, but then I'm not sure on that one. Perhaps, it could mean for only one to play, or to play very quietly. But you sure can't mute an oboe.

i wouldnt exactly call that a mute, maybe a way to clean your instrument, but thats about it, it might be a psycalogical thing, that because you have stuff in there it just sounds muted to you, believe me, you cant really mute a double reed instrument

I have been under the impression from my private lesson teacher that you can not mute any woodwind instrument becuase the sound don't just come out of the end it comes out of different spots on the tube. But if im wrong on this please correct me
