Let's not forget that the reed needs a resonating chamber to both amplify and mould the frequencies that eventually end up in our ears. If small things like the staple and the shaper produce huge differences, then the very big instrument (in comparison) must do much more.

The work on oboe bells by Weber, Dupin, Frank and many, many others are proof positive that the reed is only the beginning.

I now seem to have a darker/warmer sound all the time compared to before I had my Loree revoiced by D. Teitelbaum (of Laubin), who reamed its bell. It's actually becoming difficult to get the thin reedy sound I used to have in Montreal. Yes my reeds are different, but some of them are very close to what they used to be.

I'm very happy for this difference, which is why I'm still aiming to find the perfect instrument. Mayer played Buffet Crampon, Howarth and Frank and the instrument resonates fantastically despite his deep sound; oboists who turn my ears to the radio often play Marigaux. All of them display characteristics that I have always had to struggle for with my Loree.
