 Re: What sort of oboe do you play and why

My oboe (and first woodwind) is an old plastic Selmer Bundy I picked up for $500 US mail-order from a dealer in Michigan. It was the instrument I learnt on and has served me well for the past 20+ years. Years ago when I was playing in a local community orchestra, they had a wood Linton or Leblanc oboe I was able to use on loan. We had two oboists and if I needed to play a lead part (rare – but happened from time to time if I called dibs on a particular piece) then I’d usually opt for the wood but otherwise relied on my Selmer if I was seconding, which I preferred doing. I play about on clarinets much more now but probably bring out the oboe every 2-3 weeks and bang out some polkas and other non-traditional pieces on it. It’s still my horn closest to my musical heart - and oddly enough the only instrument I own that I talk to, as if it has some sort of soul.
