Wonderfully clear explanation and video. The best I've seen! The pointers on what not to do are outstanding and essential for beginners to know. Thanks for putting it all together.

I have a problem, my oboe is stuck, i can't disassemble it ! What can i do 😭

Oh my, this was SO, SO helpful. I can't thank you enough for breaking this down and demonstrating so well

Muito bom ver esse áudio tirando minhas dúvidas

Nice lead in music ! Good descriptive vocabulary, inspires confidence in the viewer. This lady knows what she is talking about ! I was proficient years ago but gave it up and am now renewing my technique. Thank you for sharing in this medium what should otherwise have been an expensive lesson.

This is really helpful, and I love the colorful thread on your reed!

Merci beaucoup pour vos vidéos très instructives, et pertinentes, elles sont super ! 😊

thanks for your video!

An elderly oboe maker from my city (Trento - Italy) told me that the price was very high due to the woodworking. The internal hole, in fact, is conical unlike other instruments such as the clarinet, in which it is cylindrical. For this reason the milling must be done progressively waiting for the wood to season, to avoid cracks and to finish the instrument it takes a few years. :-)

My fiberglass Selmer Signet oboe cost my folks $850 at Chuck Levin's back in 1978. It revolutionized my tone after a year playing on an awful rental Linton oboe.

Oooh, that was so useful, THANK YOU, madam👍

Of course cheap is subjective, especially when considering the amount of $1500. The oboe, like most of its woodwind brethren (bassoon, clarinets, etc.), is a precision instrument the relies on technicians for precise adjustments which cannot be automated.

Didn't now Loree Oboes were popular in the US.

THIS HELPED A LOT! THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I just heard one. Beautiful sound. I like it better than the clarinet.

Your short tutorials are a delight, full of positive habit forming tips. May I encourage you to do more of these!?

This is very helpful. Your patient and clear presentation can help establish or also reinforce early technique...esp. for those of us who will embark on a largely self-taught path with no access to a local oboe instructor!

Does anyone have any idea why the bell of the oboe is sphere-shaped instead of hyperbolic? Is that why it sounds so muffled, compared to other woodwinds and in particular most folk double reed instruments?

Wrong. Oboes are expensive because people keep paying high prices for them, which drives the cost up. I play the oboe and it sickens me how much it costs.

Sooo im in 8th grade and my band director thought it was a good idea to give me a rhapsody in blue solo sooooooooooooooooooo Edit: i play clarinet tho

My Oboe cost me 30 bucks and Ive played it for 20 years without fault.

Excellent overview. I always found it interesting that Americans usually prefer the Loree oboes, but all over Europe and much of Asia we tend to prefer the Marigaux. Thank you for this very interesting video.

This is an excellent instructional video. It does work better for the American scrape than for the European short scrape reeds.

I come here from genius oboist who have an idea to input starwars theme into orchestra practice

I see all of the instruments made in abs and plastic either, but oboe and basson never.

When I first started, I played on an old plastic Buecher. Then I borrowed my college's F. Loreé AK... WOW! It was like going from grape juice to a vintage red wine from France. Played like a dream and my tone improved 100 times over.

Excellent video - super helpful 😃👍

Thanks for this video. After playing the oboe on and off for 31 years (mostly off), I'm considering picking it up again and learning to make my own reeds. I'm seeing, through this video and other places, a real need to understand the reed well enough to make one and certainly adjust one.
