 Re: In search of a smaller sound.

Mike,
I find your statement "They don't sing like my Marigaux..." interesting. I think when we were thinking of an instrument which produced a "smaller sound" for your chamber music, we were thinking of an instrument which limited your ability to "sing out" so that you could blend more. So you're looking for a smaller "singing" sound?

I think you're coming up against the same struggle which all musicians deal with: discipline. When to sing out, and when to hold it in even though you want to sing out.

In either case, you're going to either have to work to have "a smaller sound" and blend in, or you're going to have to work to "sing out" and push through the "ether". (David Weber calls this "cushion in the sound". Not sure any oboe can help you do both, but good luck on your trials (see the list of oboes I've gone through to find this right balance on the "oversoaking reeds" thread). The best I've come up with finding an oboe that I can make reeds for easier to accomplish one or the other, and then practicing the heck out my instrument to achieve the other.

Good luck on your search. Let me know when you find it.
