... hm, OK, makes sense, and much easier on oboist with reeds that play well for everyday practice = more comfortable = more relaxed = play better overall
re air quantity and reed strength issues, get this
... have a whole bunch of starlings & hissing geese in my reed box just now, one promising crow, but nary a raven to be heard
sigh, this A-scrape is a tough reed style to cut, teacher mostly happy with responsive tips, but that woody middle is sure a lot of resistance, how can i make it easier on myself, i'm blowing my guts out just trying to get any feeling of dark chocloate sympathetic vibrations at all in the hump
yeah, restructuring stiff upper lip to buzzier embouchure might help, and hey, just realised after a bit more intonation research this weekend that belly button's supposed to be reaching for back bone, not pushing itself forward to turn inside out, amazing how reading something in print sticks better than being told in lessons, wow, now theory clicks -- but, does it (or can I make it) ... WORK!?!
