Of the Tabuteau School of Oboe (which is widely accepted as the founder of the "American School of Oboe") came two general schools. (I say this because there are many, but most oboists have roots two one of the two, with exception to Ray Still or Mark Lifschey). While John Mack was in Cleveland, and was characterized by a big, fat, dark sound which frequently was felt and heard, the Philadelphia sound of DeLancie was more of a flexible, brighter and flexible one. DeLancie's reeds were of different gouge and formula, as was his tonal concept, which is still commonly echoed from students of the Curtis School. My previous teacher, Jan Eberle of MSU studied extensively and closely with both, and could tell you better as to how the two compared.
