Re: A Beautiful Old Oboe

Thanks Chris for your input concerning the Thumb Plate Oboe. I"m really enjoying playing my new (1955) S2. I had the S55c Dual System Oboe since 2004 but over the past couple of years I was finding this full conservatoire/Thumb Plate Oboe too much for me (I'll be 72 this March) The usual higher resistance of this Oboe was proving too tiring for me. Also , being a full conservatoire Dual System it was overloaded with mechanism which was proving too heavy for my right thumb. Tne S2 is much lighter to hold and more lighter in resistance. I'd say it's going to reinvigorate my Oboe playing for a few more years yet . Hopefully.
