 Re: Making short scrape European style oboe reeds easy

Again, no ceremony.
Everything Ceri explained just seems natural and "normal" to me with the exception that at the Conservatoire de Montréal, we were taught to soft-lip regardless of the reed used. Doesn't American technique also use abdominal support? For me the air-pressure is built-in to my physiognomy!

This is perhaps why most of my reeds are hybrids and/or why a thinner gouge is preferable: the reed closes more on its own, is more easy to play on its own without sacrificing the round sound or the sprigny character of the reed.

I can't even imagine just leaving the reed in the lips and never moving it. This being said, moving the reed is no big deal: its just a matter of responding to the oboe's tuning and/or a bunch of other sound considerations as you're playing. The position of the instrument should only be in response to your body's posture requirements (prevent strains in the neck, shoulder etc.) and other physiognomy considerations.

There are exercises of opening/closing the mouth over the reed (drunken scales) and so on, but they only intuitively exaggerate what you would do while playing.
