 Re: Why don't boys take up the oboe?

Hi Jeremy,

I met you two years ago at a BDRS convention...Northampton, was it? I don't know if you remember me...but anyway....


I recall that someone said that the oboe was a very expressive instrument and boys don't seem to like that expressive quality. I think that this in a slight way may be true because expression and the showing of feelings strongly is a very feminine thing, and I don't think that young boys really like that quality in the oboe...so that's why they choose the more harsh sounding instruments such as trumpet etc. The same goes for flute in a sense.
