By several decades i mean 25 years without touching the instrument. I resumed on soft reeds (a crappy meason did me quite well right at the start) and worked my way back up into the full reedmaking routine. I knew I'd made it when a pro reed I bought upfront that made me feel like my head was going to explode became a pleasure to play on. That took several months of regular playing. One other thing about playing the oboe - it's a superior form of meditation: what i mean is you regulate your breathing rhythmically, focus with great concentration on making music and coordinating your mind and body, and get fully lost in it. I think it's very therapeutic.
