WOOO GO OBOES!!!! YEAH!! I have a REALLY small band and I am the only oboe player in my whole town!!! lol Everybody tells me...including Mrs.Kurth (instructor) that oboes are one of the hardess band instuments to play..but I dont think its THAT hard...ANYWAY!! I have been playing since I was in 5th grade...now Im in 8th...so I guess that makes it 3 years. Do any of you oboe players think that oboe is hard?? Just wondering. Well since our band AND TOWN are so small we dont have a marching band...but we do have Jazz band and Pep band...I want to be in both!!

I play oboe in the Glendora High wind ensamble and flute in the marching band...
I just started playing oboe a year ago and my teacher says I've mastered things that her other students haven't been able to in 2 years...^^;;
I don't believe her... stare

LadyEcko I don't think that the oboe is all that hard to play..... ...LIES!
It all depends on your oboe and the reed...I play a wood french selmer on a medium soft reed...

No, I play a very old oboe(soloist(or something like that))... It's not even made any more... I'm on a Jones Med. Reed.... Jones are good reeds... But I like making mine more....

Oboe Excuses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's the reed!
It's the weather.
The _____(s) are playing to loud so I can't hear myself.
My music has too much writing on it from the last person.
You didn't give me enough time to soak my reeds; how can you expect me to play well?
It's too dark in here- I can't see my music.
(pointing to someone else) It was him/her!
You forgot about me when we were tuning.
It's the reed!
It was a clarinet who squeaked.
I couldn't practice because my ____ was sick and i had to care for them.
My dog ate my music.
It's the reeds!
You don't respect me enough in in rehearsals.
My instrument's broken. (Then after the concert it magically fixes itself.)
I haven't warmed up yet.
My hands are cold because the room is too cold, so how can I be expected to move them quickly?
I'm not feeling well today.
I just got back from the dentist-my mouth is sore.
It's the reed!
This isn't my good oboe.
It's SUPPOSED to sound that way! Don't you know anything about oboes?
The ____ isn't in tune and it's throwing me off.
That one thing isn't doing what it's supposed to. See? (point to any part of the oboe) I'll have to get someone to look at it.
It's the reed!
You only THINK you heard me make a mistake!
It's called "improvisation." Duh!
I'm using a new complicated technique-very top secret.
It's the reed!

I am going to start playing oboe soon, because we don't have one (well we have 2 but they are really bad). I allready play bassoon, so I don't think it will be to drastic of a change. But I'm not sure, what are your thoughts?

What is ABS resin body? I know it isn't as good as wood, but what about the tone quality?
