Hey, i'm watching all your videos and i really enjoy them. I was an oboist and had to stop playing because i didn't had the money to pay for an instrument. I miss it so much and your videos make me so happy
Hi there, thanks so much for you comment! I am happy you are enjoying my videos and I am sorry that you weren't able to continue playing the oboe, it's never too late though!
You should look into renting one!! I saw some at a local shop near me for like 30$ a month and that way it’s not fully diving in commitment. It’s such a glorious instrument I’d jump back in :) The breathing techniques alone are so therapeutic.
Come onnn, the conical bore of the Oboe makes it a little wooden Saxophone. We all have problems downstairs. The cylindrical Clarinet makes more sense but it is finger-breaking difficult. Flute has one counting up ledger lines, & low notes are disappointing. What's the best Woodwind? OBOE. The Trumpet of the WW Section. If it wasn't for the reed-making BS I'd still be playing one. (you guys get the best melodic lines).
It’s a heavy investment for sure if you don’t learn to make reeds xD But agree 10000%. No woodwind leaves me with as many goosebumps as the oboe. Such a Melodic.. divine sound.
Look up the Zerna. It’s essentially a middle eastern oboe. I have one….and it’s revered for that paunchy abrasive sounds haha (I have one in one of my latest tracks) However I JUST got an Oboe yesterday and mine ONLY sounds like a Zerna… loud and pushy. I want that soft melodic sound I hear in orchestral solos and romantic pieces. So is this a technique in the embouchure? Love your video Brotha!! I liked and subscribed immediately. But I’m still driving myself crazy unable to get that “soft, melodic” sound off this oboe… I know it’s only been one day but I’m typically a fast learner and grasp many woodwind embouchure very efficiently. But now I see why the oboe is so legendary xD In your videos when you start at like 2:30 ITS PERFECT. That’s the clean, soft warm sound I’m trying to do but all I get is a LOUD duck like attack of sound haha
I know the Zurna, similar way of creating the vibrations but a lot different in the sound. You need a different technique for the oboe in order to create that softer sound. If I can compare with with another instrument it would but more like an Armenian duduk, that soft mellow sound of it. Be patiente, it takes a while to achieve that 😉
Look into a Zerna (Zeurna) it’s a middle eastern conical instrument. Sounds very close to an oboe but more abrasive as that genre of music likes to KICK with leads. It’s a fun instrument too with a very similar double reed as well!
@@souliseum5437 I heard the Zurna is slowly getting replaced by the clarinet. But I don’t understand why it isn’t being replaced by the oboe, because it’s more similar to one. Do you know?

I totally agree
What is a conical bore?? I play sax and I’m getting an oboe soon, does that mean I’ll have an easier time learning it?
Thanks
Oh never mind, you answered my question lol

really great!!
thanks for uploading!!
no idea of other connical instruments outside oboe
Where did you study?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Saxophone for example is also connical!
I studied in Sofia,Paris and in Germany.
@@BeyondOboe I was thinking that saxophone was also connical.
Most brass instruments apart from trumpet are conical afaik

Hi,could you write the title of the book?Thank you!

Hey can you play an oboe with dentures
I haven't come across this situation but I would think why not, give it a try.
