Im a string player (cello, viola, guitar and piano)usually. Im a freshman majoring in music education (at the University of Wyoming)and would really like to learn more about wind instruments. I was unsucessfully recruited for many years by the band teacher at my high school to play the oboe, I was told I have the perfect mouth for it or somthing. Again, Im a string player and really have no idea when it comes to wind instruments. I know I dont want to pay over $2000 and want an intermediate level oboe (meaning not plastic). I've also done some research and have found that a German style oboe appeals to me the most. Im open to any suggestions and would really like some help, I dont understand any of this extra keys and weird mubo jumbo...talk to me about tailpieces, frogs and sound posts and Im with you. So please most gracious wind players help a girl out.
Thanks
