Be careful what you wish for!

Years ago clarinets were very popular but nowhere as bad as it is now. I would have people ask me what it was ( a clarinet,) not today! They're everywhere!

If people start playing oboe in large numbers, they will be just like clarinets with "everyone and their brother" playing them and they will be nothing
unique with unbelievable competition!

So be happy with the current status of oboe (and other double reeds for that matter.)

CLARINET, n.
An instrument of torture operated by a person with cotton in his ears. There are two instruments that are worse than a clarinet -- two clarinets
