 Re: Switching to baroque oboe

... i think baroque oboes are very elegant in shape and exquisitely simple in design, and i utterly adore their warm 'ripe' sound, so different from relatively 'hard' modern oboes, but i'm still learning how to play an oboe, any oboe, and after watching a video of a pair of baroque oboists doing a Bach number, and watching those fingers flying up and down so fast and furious for lengthy periods of time, i figure my old fingers won't ever get around to that kind of expertise

... but if someone ever offers me a try at playing theirs, i will be delighted, and since i'm a big girl now you may find my shoulder in your way when you want it back !

it's interesting, isn't it, in these hectic modern times, how we're finding solace in the very old and easy-going (soft sounding) things?

maybe we should go for an even 'darker' and mellow A standard at 435?
