 Describing oboe tone: a newbie question
Author: David Spiegelthal 2017

Hello real oboists,

I'm a clarinet and sax player trying to re-learn oboe after a very long hiatus, and I'm trying to get calibrated to the oboe community's terms for oboe tone. I realize that it's almost impossible to adequately describe sound using words -- we run into this dilemma all the time on the Clarinet BB, trying to decide what 'dark' and 'bright' clarinet tone qualities are, for example.

So, my all-time favorite oboe sounds belong to the following players, and I would be interested in hearing your verbal 'categorizations' of their respective sounds:

1) John de Lancie
2) John Mack
3) Lothar Koch

Thanks in advance!
