 Re: what oboes do you guys play on?

Hi all - you all seem very "american" - so here is some british input.

I play on a Howarth S2 (No longer made). Open hole british thumb plate system.

Before this I had the most beautiful Louis oboe on loan but unfortunately had to return it - never found another to match its flexibility of tone.

Would never contemplate either a plastic or a plateaux oboe -

Plastic - nasty sound
Plateaux - breaks your contact with the instrument - i can really feel the wood and the vibrations with the open holes. + plateaux deadens the tone and encourages sloppy fingerwork (I just know you're all going to disagree with me !!!)
