I don’t know if the device attached to the English horn is to check intonation, to amplify, or something else completely. Anyone out there know?

From the YouTube page (since the video isn’t really all about the English horn):
El?na Garan?a performs Gounod’s “Repentir” from her new album “Meditation” on Deutsche Grammohpon.

I want an oboe lesson. There’s a peace I find in playing oboe and being complimented for doing something right.

I am not quite sure I understand what this person is saying. Hm. Maybe I’m just not used to peace being connected to oboe! ;-)
