Re: Clarinetist has question for Oboe player!

I think I stopped sounding like "duck" when my embouchure became much more relaxed and I wasn't tensing up on the reed. Once you get more of an "O" mouth and have the muscles to support that "O", you sound MUCH better. It took about six months to get here and you refine you sound even more over the months thereafter. Practice makes perfect.

Of course there's also breath control. When you're able to start, hold, and stop a note with the proper breath support, you no longer sound like a dying duck or a mooing cow.

Try it out. It's a blast but you better have the patience of Job! ;D
