Yes, there is that a person getting accustomed to the response of the wood. But I am referring to the wood getting accustomed to be played upon. In the case of oboe, the effects appear to be less drastic than that of violin. However, in either case, the wood's acoustic response limits are the best the wood can offer.
Yes, Rigoutat, at least most I have tried mostly older ones, tend to be on the sharp side in upper register, but within the range where any better oboe player can adapt to. But I am referring to the wood's change in responses after being played upon.
Yes, the wood does change in its response characteristics beyond a person getting use to it. How can one explain the fact that people recognizing well seasoned and well played upon instruments from brand new or just reconditioned instruments? Seasoned oboe does play easier and better to any better oboe player, not just to the one whose been playing on.
