Samovar (Bill), as you are trying the various instruments, it would be enormously helpful if you had someone else who knows oboes very well listening to you. Failing that, you need to also record yourself on each of the instruments, so you can hear how they sound *outside* your own head.
I regularly use my laptop to record myself playing, and I am just continually amazed at how different my impressions of the sound are in the recordings vs. my subjective experience. Reeds that I think are too bright will actually sound balanced; reeds that I think are too stuffy will actually sound quite resonant. And occasionally, reeds that I think are wonderful will sound like nothing much.
I'm thinking the same experience may hold for assessing the instrument itself -- what sounds wonderful to you while playing may not actually sound as wonderful to others, and vice-versa.
Good luck with your process! Sounds like a fun way to spend the weekend!
Susan
