Re: Anyone double on oboe

I also double on the oboe. It's not too hard once you understand the fingerings.

The most important aspect is a good reed. There's a reason there are so many oboe reed jokes and stereotypes--the darn thing absolutely will NOT work without a good reed!

One great aspect of playing the oboe is that when you play your clarinet again, the clarinet embouchure feels super easy and relaxed. Endurance is improved too.

Best of luck!
