 Re: Playing on the Tip/Reed Style

Hey, Graham and Damon --

Thanks for the intelligent discussion!

Since I have learned (I won't say "mastered" -- yet) the ability to play on the extreme tip, I really, really like it. It seems to solve a lot of the color and intonation problems I was having. And it seems virtually fool-proof, as well -- i.e., you are not nearly as dependent on having a "perfect" reed in order to sound OK.

I was just wondering what "most" of the American scrape players do -- play at the tippy-tip, or take a little more reed. Because I am at the point right now where two roads are diverging in the yellow wood, and I feel more comfortable with one (tip), but my teacher advocates, and is demonstrably successful with, the other.

It's not like she is demanding that I do it her way. We have had this conversation, and her bottom line is, if it sounds good, it is good. One just has to find a way that works for them, and do it.

I'm amazed at the divergent ways in which one apparently can approach the oboe, and still create an acceptable sound. No rules, just right?

Susan
