  • Good sound and intonation! What brand oboe is it?

  • @maestrojimbo Rigoutat RIEC

  • Very nice sound :) How long have you been playing? I don't think I'll every attempt learning the oboe. I'll just enjoy listening to nice clips like this one :) I was traumatized by another double-reed instrument (bombard) which was REALLY hard for me to play :)

  • Oh thank you :) This was some years ago. I have improved a lot but yet I still consider myself a learner. Oboe IS a tough instrument to play. I too thought about just leaving it and pick something else while enjoying others play it but I love it too much to stop!

    Bombard is LOUD!!! oboe once you know how to produce a nice tone will sound way different than bombard!

  • wow your tone is amazing.

    iv been playing oboe for about a year

    and my tone is a bit sharp and a bit

    too bright. any suggestions?

  • Thank you but trust me i'm on the same boat! For brightness I think you have to experiment with your embouchure, make your lips rounder (O sound)especially for the B and middle C which are the brightest and use a tuner. I just got one and found out I WAS sharp!!Listen to recordings of the sound u like and that should help you alot.

  • ur weird michael.....

  • great tone. i love ur sound. i played for bout 4-5 months. i think my only problem was actually keeping my 1st finger on the top key, but that's cuz i'd space out a lot and wouldn't pay attention. ha ha. i was actually usually in tune, but my sound was a bit funny. that was last school year. planning to play it again, as well as continuing bassoon, which i couldn't this year because the only school bassoon was too old and kept messing up. :(

  • lol, the titles for this video sounded weird when i read it! lol! but n e way... you sound great keep it up

  • ok so i tried the oboe i just got it today i can only play like five notes because i think the oboe needs an ovehaul but im going to try the other schools oboe tomorrow i hop it works better.

  • what song is that? i play the piano clarinet guitar tenor sax and violin, im thinking about tackling the oboe since there are non in band, that or the bass clarinet, most likely the oboe. >:)

  • you made really sweet sound from the oboe! although I don't learn it but I defitely love the sound and would like to play it one day!
