Here is a very subjective and limited observation.
Recently at a student recital - I noticed the two students (one graduated from the program and continued on) who studied at a famous pre-college oboe program in NYC sounded alike (homogenized). They played Loree Oboes and all had the same tonal quality and core sound.
From my point of view, although the sound was very "stable" in its core - it lacked warmth and personality.
The other students in the program played on a Loree's and other Oboes ... yet, each had a more distinct personalized sound.
I wonder if in the "Famous Schools" there is a preferred sound ... I know they ask their students to only play Loree Oboes.
Personally, although the pre-college students had a good sound and perfect pitch stability - I still felt their tone lacked the elasticity that was very present in David Walter's playing.
