I went! 1st one for me in aprox. 26 years. I had a 25 year IT career get in the way for a while, but....
Great things were there for me.
I met Cooper and his lovely wife, and John T and his lovely wife, and Frank Swan (turns out we both studied with Dick White), and Bob Hubbard in his booth... all great fellows and fortunately had time to break bread with a couple of them, Cooper and John T. Bob's gouger is very interesting... great design and engineering. And his knifes are out of this world ( I will acquire one soon).
Recitals, lectures, master classes, PM major concerts most days. Details to follow.
I developed a lot of perspective about the master class teachers, and some critical opinions as well.
More later as we share amongst the bboard, but mostly it was simply great... full orchestras to accompany PM concerts, and sometime full meant small barogue chamber strings with harpsichord, and other times full orchestras.
Multiple daily sight-reading sessions... I went early to the 7:30 ones and met some fine people.
I went also in search of a magic ehorn bocal but failed in that attempt (too noisy in the exhibit hall, and it was pretty far from the music sites, so I really had limited time to go there.
I did try as many oboes as possible, and ehorns and will post thoughts and impressions later.
I met some Chinese folks building a new Armstrong Ward (Australian company) oboe line and was favorably impressed but really intrigued by their profilers that make either euro reeds or American ones in about 2 minutes (from blank to reed), and they nearly work for me. A little less cane off in the 2 minute effort and a couple days to finish and refine them and they will be really good reeds. Amazing... I bought a couple kilos of their tube cane and will commence tomorrow with that.
All-in-all, great fun! Lots to share, and I will later. Need sleep now.
