 The Oboe BBoard

It would seem that the musette is really more in use in Continental Europe (same with the barytone/bass oboe).... I do wish more Europeans would participate in this BBoard.
I can only imagine that the tone is clearer and more piercing. I don't know why it is prefered. For picolo trumpets (same with double horns), the point is not to play higher, but to make the high register easier by keeping the harmonics farther apart.
Though the oboe uses a key and tube-length mechanism, harmonics still play a role in the fingerings of the high register: for example, you can get an A above the staff with a D fingering and the 2nd octave key.
Please let us know if you find any sound clips.
