      It's just a light-hearted observation that Eddy indeed twirled the oboe around, especially at 7:34.
      I do play the saxophone and trumpet but I cannot circular breathe yet.

      oboe actually pushes back against your air, notice he's actually having to breathe out before he breathes back in, which is awkward but a good oboist can actually go for quite a while longer than other woodwinds because their air isn't being used up as quickly

      Always make sure your reed is well soaked. Keep water on when you practice.
      Also, proper posture can not be underestimated. If you're not sitting up straight you'll find it hard to make a sound at all.

    I'm so happy they did this so I can vent about oboe. Like my good lord it's such a hard instrument. We don't get to adjust our instruments to sound in tune. It all depends on the reed and mouth position. It also depends on the oboe because some of them are terrible. Let alone, a lot of oboes I've seen in my school are missing the left f key and low B-flat key. Its hard to find a decent oboe for a good price. Now, let's move on to know fingerings. They're probably the worst along with the bassoon. Like you have to switch to the left e-flat before you play d-flat and gosh it's just awful. Like there are *three* different ways to play f natural, *three.* Moving on back to the reed. It loves to close up on you and then all of a sudden, you go from sounding in tune to flat as hell. It's so freaking annoying. Then eventually it closes up even more and you can't play anymore. (Eddy struggled with that.) Plus I swear if you turn around for one second your reed will be cracked. No one will be near it and it'll just *crack* so you have to get a new reed. Oml I hate getting a new reed with a burning passion. You have to break it in and that can take anywhere from a day to a month. Lastly, you literally sometimes won't be able to *breathe* when you play. Like once you get into arpeggios you just *die.* Welp, there was your three minute lesson on oboe and if you actually read that congratulations. I'm sorry about the long rant though. 😂😂

    • @carringtonpilon1310
      @carringtonpilon1310 4 роки тому +14

      Sailor Cottoned-Lavender Lol. Yes. It’s called a register key because, unlike most instruments, it doesn’t change the octave of the pitch. It changes the register of the pitch, which is a 12(an octave and a 3rd). So fingering a low C (C4), becomes a high mid G (G5) when you press the key. That said, there tends to be a build up of spit around there. It’s not uncommon so see a player flip the clarinet around and blow into the thumb hole to get some of that out. xD

    It's EXTREMELY hard to play oboe. The amount of breath you need and the right amount of air to make a sound is just really hard. I've played oboe for about 5-6 years now and trust me, I sounded like that when I first picked it up. So props to you for giving it a try!

  • @blueskies2936
    @blueskies2936 6 років тому +37

    I play the oboe! It's impressive that you can even make a sound on your first go. The air pressure needed to make a sound is usually too much for most people (even if you already play an instrument). I have been playing for a while now and remember how I used to actually faint!

    I play the oboe, Violin, and the Viola. You have awesome content I get so excited when I look at my notifications and one of you videos pop up. They are hilarious, and creative and I really enjoy it. I am a beginner Odoeist and a beginner Violaist, (I think that's how you spell it.) Anyway I just wanted to to comment and let you know I appreciate your videos alot.
    Much Love,
    Rosa P. ❤️

    Man, Waldo there sounds like me in my high school band class. Good times. Not for anyone else, but for me, certainly.

    I played the oboe for seven years (6th-12th) and oh boy does this video put into perspective how difficult it is to play. I think I've taken for granted how hard the oboe is, since I grew used to playing the instrument pretty quickly. But yeah, beginning oboe players are bound to sound like dying birds, and that's a fact. I did enjoy the instrument more once my playing blossomed from ugly duckling to beautiful swan tho.
