I’ll be featuring trombone on my next oboe recital. #oboe #englishhorn #trombone #why #research #acoustics #🤯
@racheloboes and I were equally fascinated by John Symer’s recent interview on @doublereeddish. Oboists - all woodwind players, really - love to debate which material makes the best oboe. More specifically, popular opinion suggests that wood is better than plastic. Why? Because wood.
.
Symer, backed by every acoustical and blind study ever, says plastic is a better material. There’s a lot meant by “better,” and I won’t go into detail here. These pics are meant to show the surface characteristics of the bore. Smoothness vs roughness vs graininess, and whatever else you can see. These qualities can influence how the instrument performs, but the base material itself does not contribute to sound. Go listen to the episode and see what you think!

Changing a tenon cork is straight forward and worth the effort. Here’s how I do it. #oboe #englishhorn #coranglais #hautbois #repair #oboerepair #woodwind #woodwindrepair #clarinet #bassoon #flute #recorder #bocal #diy #stuntoboe
No. 3 sounded a little sharp.
