How an oboeist, or any wind instrument player, or any musician, or anyone, can go for 6 hours....... blows my mind. As an oboeist, I would be deceased after about 2.5 hours

[@williamraleigh7546]

I've heard that they are practicing Mahler's First Symphony, so the entire time probably isn't playing, unless it's very oboe heavy. Plus I think Spencer is a Julliard student, so he will probably be fine by tomorrow(based on how strong his embouchure muscles are).

[@Th4n0s369]

I can play and enjoy playing for 4 hours upwards

And they say string instruments are harder to play 😭

[@turbohobbies]

Violin is considered to be the hardest instrument with over 20 different bow styles, it is difficult to create sound, difficult to make vibrato, and more. I also acknowledge that wind instruments like oboe are difficult to play as well, but I stand by the fact that violin is the most difficult instrument to play.

[@Maddie_Equestrian129]

I play the oboe and recently started to try to learn the violin so I think rn it really depends but hey it's just my opinion I think they both are hard but since I master more the oboe I feel like the oboe is much easier just that you need to put a lot of air in 😅
