Joethemusician plays Winter Sonata (겨울연가): From the beginning until now. Oboe

Winter Sonata (겨울연가): From the Beginning until Now. I was having some fun trying to break in a reed and thought I would give this a shot. The reed is a little tough and slightly low which is causing me to bite a lot but I think it is going to blossom into a really good reed at some point (i hope). This is one of my favorite Korean dramas... if you haven't watched it you really should!!!

Joe, you sound amazing, also I noticed that you play saxophone also. Its really amazing that you play both and really good. I used to play Oboe and Tenor Saxophone in High School, every now and then I pick them up and give it a whirl when I'm in a music store. Keep up the good work, you have really motivated me to play again

@jarhead18331 thanks buddy!!! I have a degree in saxophone, a degree in clarinet, and a master degree in oboe :) It sounds really impressive, but it just really means that I practice a lot... basically all day every day I spend playing one of my instruments :) I am so glad you're motivated! Keep up the practicing and post some videos when you get comfortable!!!!

Your oboe sound is so sweet, which is a surprise, since you say you need to bring your oboe level up. There's a lot of professionals that don't have that sweet of a sound.

I prefer the double reeds of all the wind/brass instruments. My fiance plays oboe and english horn. I've listened to a lot of oboists and concluded most don't have the sweet sound I prefer in the oboe. Holliger and Goossens are my favorite because of their sweetness.

Keep it up and I might have to add you!

oh wow you're so kind!!! i think my sound is alright but i would like it to have a lot more "focus" and be a little rounder. Maybe in a year or so I will finally be happy but until then practice, practice, practice!!!!
