Well, "Kid,"
You've done a great job of reiterating my point precisely (and kudos for the use of "Teutonic" in a non-derogatory statement -- my German roots are tingling).
Yes, different oboes get different sounds. You pick (perhaps consciously, perhaps not) the SOUND you want, and then you find an oboe to match. Of course, sound isn't everything, as an oboe must also satisfy technical necessity as well. Pitch, technical "fluidity," durability, timbral consistency, projection (perhaps), etc., are all attributes of a well put together "oboe-as-machine." I have had to say "no" to oboes that I thought sounded great (or, more to the point, allowed me to easily sound the way I wanted to), based on mechanical considerations.
I'd love to hear more from Cooper on the difficulties he had with his Hiniker, with regard to the mechanism. I have had no such difficulties myself. I am, however, quite accustomed to performing adjustments to an oboe's mechanism on a frequent basis. I find the Hiniker mechanism to be a literal work of art, and the most efficient "oboe machine" I have yet encountered. But now I'm sounding outright biased. Blame not a man in love!
