My God, is it possible that 2 oboes give such a different feel? I tried the Yamaha Thursday on my own, standing, with the w.r.i.s.t and noticed that the keywork has better ergonomics, though it is heavier than my plastic Bundy, of course, it's a modified Conservatory. Some notes spoke more freely, like C# (even if buzzing a bit) and the high D that is painful on the Bundy. I was delighted.
Then yesterday at the band practice... sitting, with sax behind me so I barely hear myself most of the time, I used the Kooiman Etude 3 and my arthrosis brace, as I usually do, using the same reed. I felt much more pressure in my head and on my back muscles, feeling the abdominal muscles more than usual. Today my right arm suffers... and I remember my doubts about my too flexible body being able to play the oboe... Is it possible to see such a difference?
