[vgellin]

Great comment. I've found that adage is true for bassoon reeds too.

[bluewave193]

what wood is your oboe made out of? It's absolutely beautiful!

[dnine14]

@bluewave193 It looks like Rosewood (I think)

[WJOboe09]

Wow! He just made the C above the C above the staff pop right out!

[dnine14]

@WJOboe09 I think that is just the fingering for a high E... (3 ledger lines above the staff)

[WJOboe09]

@dnine14 I have perfect pitch, it was a C. Trust me.

[dnine14]

@WJOboe09 Oops. Yes, you are definitely right.

What is the fingering for that?

[WJOboe09]

@dnine14 Simplest way... finger a B-flat, but half-hole it, add the side Octave key and the C-trill key. Your probably going to have to like put your teeth on the thread to make it speak, haha.
