 Re: Learning English horn?

I am also a serious hobby oboe player that wants to learn English horn.

First thing I noticed is that is almost unfair how much less resistance there is on an English horn. I tried a loaner EH last year and my arms are almost too short. After ten or fifteen minutes my right hand wrist is incredibly sore! Even with a good neck strap.

I found that hanging the EH to my right side OR crossing my feet and resting the bell on my legs helps tremendously. But who knows what that does to the sound.

I did not get too much into the English horn yet because the one I was playing on needed an overhaul.
