Every so often, this list goes into hibernation. It is long since past its heyday but I am a firm believer that there is much to be gained by a forum outside social media, so I urge people to use it, tell their colleagues.
My topic of discussion is today: Are there still many thumbplate oboists left. If you are a thumbplate user, why?
I have used both. I started using thumbplate as a beginner and stopped in my mid 20s when I gave up playing for 10 years. When I resumed, I decided it was time to make the switch, largely because it was what most post people were using, and if I needed to borrow an instrument, it would make my life easier. I played on a Fossati Conservatoire oboe for many years and loved it...but I missed thje oboe of my youth too much and decided to revert back. This was consolidated last year when my first oboe teacher died and I inherited most of his instruments.. I do prefer the sound of the B flats and Cs on a thumbplate, and I find the fingering makes more sense.
