Hi,
I'm experimenting with ways to get at different kids of multiphonics on oboe (I'm not an oboist, I have a friend who is but she doesn't have the gear below to try).
One method I've seen is to pull the staple out as far as is safe, and this turns almost any fingering into a multiphonic of sorts. I'd like to make approach this more usable (less likely to fall off) by making a longer staple, any suggestions for existing solutions before I try 3D printing something? Here's what I've thought of but haven't tried yet:
- using a Chiarugi extendable staple might work but they don't go very far so probably not radical enough.
- would the staple from a baroque oboe (55mm) fit the socket of a standard oboe?
- what about cor anglais bocal, would that fit the socket of a standard oboe?
any other suggestions?
best.
Scott

A cor bocal will not fit due to the cork. Without the cork, maybe, but why would you destroy the cork which would cost a bit to recork. Bocals are really expensive, too.
A baroque oboe staple without its thread wrap would fit I suppose. I wouldn't buy a baroque reed to test this, though.
If you want a super long staple, you can buy staple inserts. You can buy the set of 5 and keep on inserting rings.
Your multiphonics could be a result of the gap left from pulling the staple out, though, so if you just extend the staple maybe you won't get the same effect.
