 Re: The American School of Oboe playing-the players and their instruments.

I have a Rigoutat oboe, classic bore. Its top joint is open ring and middle joint is covered, made in 1960. I would not trade this with any other. It is sensitive to different reeds. Different reeds do make different sound. I can actually make my own sound. It also responds well to a wide range of articulation without resistance. I can express music the way I feel. I feel confident it will do what I want. It is like driving a sports car.

It responds well to dark sounding reed and also responds well to bright sounding reeds. I like its fruity natural sound which resonate the best with a little brighter side of the sound. I did not like some recently made Loree and Howarth I tried. They were not very unresponsive. Just about every reeds in stuck in it sounded the same... dark and silky. I guess most of my reeds were within the rage to produce the same tone. Reminded me of driving a Bonneville, comfortable smooth ride, don't even feel driving over a curve.

I believe Rigoutat also make different models to appeal to symphony and American players. I was told that they are similar to Loree and Howarth but not as dark as Marigaux. But I do not know that for sure.

Now I must admit that I am describing things that are very very small differences. But enough to make me feel differently. I can actually take any well made oboe and do well with it. I am just finicking here.
