 Re: Tone question

Each player produces the tone that they hear in their head. The makeup of the reed and instrument support what is in their head.

I saw this illustrated 20 years ago when two pro players with vastly different sounds switched their setups...they swapped oboes with the reeds still in. Both players sounded pretty close to how they did with their own horns and reeds. This demonstrated to me that a player's sound mostly comes from what is in their head, and what you hear is what they want you to hear.
