 The Oboe BBoard

Well, I just spent a few hours at RDG getting my English horn looked at (and some excellent tuning up was done to it--it feels like a new horn) and I was also trying out a bunch of oboes. There was a real nice regular-bore Loree--GV something--with a great scale, but I wasn't sure I wanted something that forward. I tried some new AK's, and they're really not as far towards Marigaux in the sound spectrum as I expected. But they did seem to me to occupy a nice intermediate ground. They really do project, though, which isn't really my concern of the week. I say I want more color flexibility than the Marigaux, but it's seems just so warm and comfortable for me right now--like cuddling up with a down comforter. The GV Lorée did have a bit better intonation than my Marigaux, which has a second register A which tends sharp. On the other hand, I think I'd have to change my reeds a bit to keep the Lorées from sagging at the top of the second register.
I also played a Buffet Greenline, which was nicely dark, but I found the pitch much less stable than my Marigaux. The thing was also heavy, especially compared to the Lorée GV. I also played a Howarth, but it was just an old S55, and it just wasn't up to the level of the other pro instruments.
