The Oboe BBoard

Re: In search of a smaller sound.

Author: jhoyla  Date:   2010-05-23 15:18 Yes, it certainly is a shame that Craig left this board - I'm sure his advice would have been sterling... Mike, it sounds like you are finding the right balance with your Marigaux. If you were to find a "chamber" instrument it would double the number of variables you are currently juggling. Are you up for that? However, since you are playing a Marigaux anyway, perhaps you should look out for a Strasser like mine. It is the "student" model Marigaux, and the early (1976-77) models were full conservatory, including split-E and LH F. Later models have simplified keywork. My Strasser has a lighter, sweeter tone than the Loree, and is also a few cents sharper in pitch (it is perfectly in tune with itself, just tuned to 442-443 instead of the standard 440). This gives you a bit more freedom in taming strident reeds, since you can take off more cane and still play in tune. I saw one of the full conservatory models on the bartering-site-that-must-not-be-named a few years back and considered buying it myself (it was one of a batch of three. The other two were rubbish).
