This is the most informative video I've found about baroque oboe reeds even today. Thank you.

Ay que belleza de sonido. Parece como saboreándose un delicioso arequipe Colombiano!

Hi. In my opinion this is the messiest and riskiest way of oiling an oboe. Imagine the paper is severely stuck in the narrow upper bore, besides scratching the bore with that sti. Wouldn't be easier to follow Garnier's advise in his method and use a simple pheasant feather instead?

Due to arthritis I have to give up the Oboe for the Trumpet. 😢😢😢

Superb.

Hello Mr Ruiz. Really love your recordings over the years. I find a lot of my reeds struggle to get pass Bb to reach the rest of the Eb scale you described. Would you prescribe a narrower shape in this case?

Hello, Gratings From Mexico,excelent video, Can I use a common modern oboe reed for a baroque oboe? thank you.

Beautiful performance💜💚❤💐

Grazie Gonzalo 💪💪

I always use pure rose essential oil. Its very expensive but it works a treat. Also makes your oboe smell amazing.

I don't quite understand this. The note you played at ca. 1:23 is clearly a D natural. Is the baroque oboe a transposing instrument?

In the seventies they were choppy? So they forgot what was taught in the sixteen seventies: “to make playing more pleasant, and to avoid too much uniformity in tonguing, articulation is varied in several ways. For example, two maint tongue strokes are used: “tu” and “ru” (or “te” and “re” for high notes...). That’s the same as we lute players using “thumb under” technique where alternating index and thumb runs produce this variation spaced, positioned and dosed as player pleases. As opposed to the modern “classical guitar” or “baroque lute” approaching the string perpendicularly with alternating index and middle finger which both sound exactly the same...

We rather speak like: “maneis gosak, naplethe óbo” , these are not just “syllables”, it is phonetic words composed b media syllables but transcending the boundaries of normal words.

What is this stupid concept you are repeating that many think that “it’s the tongue that make the high pitch notes”. People would rather state that it’s shift of lips’ pressure that helps higher pitch (appart from the “wind” velocity.

This metaphor with the wind being the bow doesn't work because stronger pressure or speed on the bow produce higher velocity notes, while stronger wind on those oboes produces also higher pitch. I guess the oboe player compensates and corrects this with the lips?

PS did this girls from the other video recover after eating the lemon???

Amazing playing, and unexpected good acoustics considering this is outdoors!

Can't always play the oboe ... especially after 9:00 p.m.

Loved. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. I arrived on d''' (bad sound, though ...).

The reed seems quite "short". Other baroque oboist use crooklets and fix the staple of the reed. You recommend this type of staple?

Thanks for sharing this videos, they are very instructives and i watched them a couple of time to check my practice. i don´t know if i miss one part but i haven´t heard you talk about embouchure. Also, what´s the difference beetwen the one piece staple that you use and the one with two pieces(witch is the one i have)?

Wonderful performance! Who are the performers? Would love to see/perform this piece staged.

Beautiful !

Beautiful! What are the pieces you used as ouverture?

What's the difference between the baroque oboe and modern oboe? If I'd like to lean to play an oboe, which should I buy? baroque or modern? I like baroque but just because its appearance, what do you recommend?

Awesome !!! I hv been looking for a gd video of breathing support for a long time. I think I finally found the one. Thx so much. and I like the term "breath management " :)

my email is janemannphoto@gmail.com if it's easier to email. I can't find any info on the Internet on the baroque oboe.

I LOVE your videos! can you make a video on how to create a vibrato and also baroque oboe fingering? I can't find a fingering chart anywhere! Thank you so much!

Thanks, I'm learning on my own, so these videos are great.

or the recorder:)!

Selten so einen Blödmann gesehen.

Thanks so much for all your CZcams oboe lessons. They are such a terrific help. I, for one, would very much appreciate yet more lessons and insights from you, because I greatly admire your playing. Could you give us a some lessons on ornaments for baroque oboe - techniques, styles and contexts.... French, Italian, German, and demonstrate your particular 'take/' on some of this?

I really like your sound. I was wondering if you might be able to give me some details on your reed and where I might be able to buy one close to it. I have made a couple baroque oboes of my own and never really had reeds that worked great with them. It all started when a friend let me borrow one which had no reeds and the bore looked like someone drilled it by hand rather than on a lathe so I decided to try and make a better one which I think came out ok but still no luck with reeds. Modern reeds work with the lowest 2 or 3 notes, but struggle with about the next 5 or 6 up. I know I need to make my own reeds but haven't invested in the tools yet and not sure on where to get the right cane. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hola gonzalo,me gustaría saber que A 415 0 440 tiene tu oboe y cual es el largo de tu cañas,entiendo que las paletas de corno ingles sirven para oboe baroco.muchas gracias

HELLO Gonzalo, Thank you for your response. I do Comuqnue from about thirty-five sound research and the baroque oboe; I try as much as possible to spread it, but if I cite a bibliographic source, I try to always do it, I think the best thing, even for the work that others before me have done perhaps with great difficulty., I think you will agree with me. Aside from that, I'm happy and admired for your work diffusuone baroque oboe, for your immense skill and ease in playing it. God has given you a great talent that you know to exploit very well. Keep it up, you're the best and I admire you very much. your Bepi (is my name!)

Thanks for writing. Of course I know where the quote comes from, that it's second hand, etc. the point of these videos is not to disseminate scholarship but to help people sound better on a two key oboe.

Hello dear collegue! You talk around the reed and Matthew Bissoli, but do not consider that the research that you present in two words, the various notes that the reed can produce, I made it again in 1990 in the magazine "Aulos". It is also not Bissoli theorized to have this thing about making a good octave to consider a reed, but he was the Conte Giordano Riccati that held a correspondence with the master of the Chapel Father Antonio Vallotti. Vallotti did then do the experiment in Bissoli. This is because things are totally revealed and perhaps should be mentioned as well even those who have discovered this thing. In any case, your lessons are good and you play beautifully. Bravo. Sorry for my english very poor.

Thanks for the great video. Very informative. I build baroque oboes and it's great to see the different techniques of other players.

Es la primera vez que le he oído tocar el oboe moderno(!) / This is the first time I've heard you play modern oboe(!)

Who won?

adorate tempi grandioso, ben
