 Re: Why do I burble from G down?

Your story is very informative.

I forgot that you're relatively new to the oboe world. If you remember your early sax days, notes under G would burble even with a perfect instrument and reed/mouthpiece combination. The trick was to practice, practice and practice.

The double reed world is just the same! I remember learning the clarinet after having played the oboe for 10 years..... ouch. The clarinet was not difficult, but the air "back pressure" was so different that playing it was the strangest thing for me and quite an adaptation. I was told that saxophone players divide themselves in Eb and Bb speciallists (play alto and baritone OR soprano and tenor) for the same reason. I suppose German vs. French oboes require the same specialisation.

Best of luck!
