It is really interesting to read all the variety of postings!
However I would like to discuss a few of the things that came up...
Somehow, we got on the topic of how playing at the tip gives uniformity of tone, and for some reason, various people considered this to be "lower level" or a good starting idea, but reserved to student playing only.
In actual fact, however, tip-playing gives MORE options for tone "colors" because the setup is very flexible, and can accomodate almost anything. (Again, this requires a reed that holds itself up properly...it can't be weak, nor can it be too hard)
The downside (but not really) to tip playing is that it requires much more air than other playing styles to achieve the greatest differences in volume. The longscrape reeds most often used for the tip-playing style DO have a tendency, if not made well, to close up and collapse. (Mainly because of cane removed from the back) In other words, the louder dynamics are cut.
Back to "student playing"...I think that homogeneity of tone, or perhaps better called "centering" of tone, is something that has to present at all times at the professional level, in any style of music - baroque to contemporary. The tone colors have to be organized, and must relate to what the music is trying to convey. If, within a phrase, the tone colors are constantly changing, how will the audience know what the player is trying to do? The greatest artists know exactly when to alter the color of a *specific* note, or group of notes, to help explain the music best. Even in oboe jazz (it exists!) there is organization. Not as much, maybe, as a Bach cantata, but there is a reason for doing every little thing...not only because we are "inspired in the moment" to play something a certain way.
