Re: What holds me back...

I am a very serious amateur who has played in community orchestras, pit orchestras, woodwind quintets etc for over 60 years. I have a rather severely undershot jaw where upper teeth overlap lower, clear to the lower gum line when jaw is clenched. It has never been a particular problem and I managed to achieve a good to excellent tone quality even as a relative beginner using very inferior oboes and reeds. I also became adept at changing embouchure to do the above. It was the poignant , beautiful quality of oboe sound that attracted me, so go ahead and give it a try at least.
