The Oboe BBoard

Re: Moved up to better reeds, now oboe sounds like flute and/or clarinet. Normal

Author: Dutchy  Date:   2007-04-27 13:51 Heh. Great minds think alike. My husband had the day off yesterday, so I had him record me with his camera, not with the intention of posting them on Youtube, but just so I could listen to myself. You can hear the difference between the Evans and Gower reeds, and the Cassell reed. But even with the Cassell reed, it still doesn't sound very good. Bleh. I listen to kids playing oboe on Youtube that sound better than me, which is kinda discouraging. And you can't blame the quality of the recording, because there's this one video of two Italian guys playing a duet, recorded on a camera phone, and it's absolutely atrocious quality--but the purity of their tone comes through. Same thing with a lot of these kids using their webcams--they wobble all around the room, in and out of focus, but you can still hear that the oboe sounds good. So I guess it's time to start looking for a teacher, eh? [Youtube videos taken down, so links removed] Post Edited (2007-04-30 21:23)
