Hello Dennis --
Welcome to the Oboe Board. I think you are the first person from Russia who has posted here.
There is a good deal of information about American Scrape reeds on this board. You could use the "Search" tab at the top of the page to find the messages about this subject -- just put "American Scrape" into the search box, and see what comes up.
One of my favorite beginning oboe books was by a Russian oboist and teacher, Vladimir Pushechnikov (maybe I didn't spell that right). I believe he may still be living, but would be a very old man. At any rate, his book for beginning oboists is very good, with delightful little tunes that I still like to play. The book is in Russian. My late mother-in-law, who was born in Odessa in 1913, translated it all for me.
What is it like to play in the Russian State Symphony? Do you travel, or stay in one place? Do you play mostly in Moscow?
Welcome!
Susan
