I still think that European players are very distinguishable from American oboists, especially German oboists.
While the bright-dark scale ranges for both American and European oboists, I find that European style oboists have more "buzz" in their sound compared to American players, who typically have a more "focused" sound.
Also, European players, especially German style players, tend to exaggerate (not necessarily in a bad way) their phrasing/expression more than American oboists. For example, I know someone who studied with Albrecht Mayer and then switched to American style with Liang Wang, and one of the things she noticed was that the vibrato of German players is a lot more pronounced than American players. (an extreme example of that would be Albrecht Mayer vs. John Mack)
