Preview - How To Make an Oboe Reed by Liang Wang

[blueoboe313]

He didn't teach us how to make um he just showed us that he knew how to make them

[MissLiv17]

He doesn't really show you how to do it...

[Pheonixlgnd]

it did sound brutal to me too.. haha but still he's pretty good

[samisama98]

Wow he thought he sounded brutal, then I can't begin to explain wat I sound like

[curlyfangs]

I can't believe he thought it sounded brutal.. I'd love to sound like that!

[cyprisjustin]

you should make me one

[Rambuzzle]

Ha he thinks that sounds 'pretty brutal', I'm guessing he hasn't heard a factory made reed in a while...

[cjwaywell]

What a very interesting video. My favourite oboist has always been Gordon Hunt but you are now also one of my favouirte oboists.

At 2:05, what part of the reed did he cut a little bit off of to smooth out the sound, the tip or the heart?

Thanks

[bestoboeplayerever]

I play the oboe too when you are testing it it sounds so beautiful:)

[vnspn]

haha... it hurt my heart when i heard him say " it sounds pretty brutal"

i would love to make a reed that even makes sounds. haha

[TipOfTheMind]

@vnspn I know same... When I first heard it I was like wow cool! and then bam he comes out and was like that was horrible! I was like ohhhh.... :'(

[vnspn]

[youngjun3]

I know! His technical ability was amazing.

@youngjun3

That's why he's principal in the NY Philharmonic!

[mattysnailboy]

how much do all those machines cost??

[youngjun3]

Depends. The gougers I believe cost a couple thousand while the rest are in the hundreds.

[cooperjwright]

The gouging machine he's using is a Ross Gouging machine, which is priced around $1000. Others usually cost between $1500-$2000.

[prsguitarsr4me]

great oboist but I beat him at table tennis!

[jmiller29]

I've been playing for 29 years since middle school and it has always been a struggle. It always amazes me to hear a professional play so easily.

[Zehoul]

does everybody "test drive?" their reed o god how many reed have i use in my life

[jenniegirl95]

i need advice!! my oboe reed breaks VERY easily.. and its too expensive and a bother to keep buying them... and i think they break in my mouth when i play, HELP ME!

[WitchGirlInAMask]

You are probably doing one or more of the following:

1. Biting the reed when you play

2. Have Too thin windows/Tip

3. Hitting the reed too hard with your tounge when you play

[dweissfisch]

the 2 minute and 50 second reed beats the 5 minute reed

[Hautbois01]

The "crow" is abit too low

[stuffestuff]

no it's not.

[ororon123]

but then we have to pay like 5-15dollars

[blackninja14]

[blackninja14]

wow, he sounds so pretty even when the reed is totally in his favor
