Sorry to revive an old thread, but I am very new to oboe (coming from clarinet and saxes) and making good use of the search function read through this post.
I would particularly like to hear confirmation, debate or disagreement regarding one of vboboes comments in his excellent post above.
"When you can physically play over 30 minutes, you start rotating reeds, mediums every 15-20 minutes for each hour of play."
Does this mean that for the sake of the reed longevity, you play short and rotate - or does this mean that if you are playing for an hour, you might expect a reed to change with moisture and use such that it should be rested and allow to dry, and therefore changed to a new one to continue playing?
