Somebody asked me today ” can the oboe be considered a large flute?”….what has this come to.
… with of course more than Bach included here. But I found this fun!
Will it be easy for me to play the oboe if I can read the treble clef?
Question: Will it be easy for me to play the oboe if I can read the treble clef?
I’m in orchestra and play the violin, but I feel like band would be a better home for music for me. I have the perfect mouth for oboe and clarinet, but my heart goes to the oboe. Since the violin plays a the treble clef and key C like the oboe does, will it be easy for me to adjust to playing the oboe?
Lee Hartman tweeted “ever play a Prestini model oboe with a thumb low-b key?”
Well, no. In fact the only thing I know about Prestini are the reed making supplies and oboe studies! So of course I had to google it immediately. You can read what Geoffrey Bridge has to say about their history here.
Lee also said he’d send me a photo or two … so here’s one. If I get more I’ll add them. Enjoy!
In my biased opinion the oboe and violin are the two most beautiful instruments there are.
