Brilliant news - we need all the oboists we can get!

Best of luck with your new study.

Yay, another newbie oboist! I started playing a few months ago. It's great fun, you'll love it

Good luck. It's a nice instrument.

Have fun!

Have fun, even though it sounds like a duck!

hehe!

ooo great another obiost. how is it going?? have you got over the stage of sounding like a duck? i did for a while, but i must admit it wasnt long! lol hope you have got on really well It's great that you have taken up an unusual instrument

right an update

today i had my first oboes lesson (well just a little try on it for 15 minutes but cant complain it was completely free) and we did the notes b a and g and also found an oboe to use from our music service (today i had to use my teachers spare one)

very nice and I hope that you like it. Good luck. I also play but I had to save up for an instrument. My parents helped with the money.

id love to learn the oboe
ah well, maybe next year

good luck

That made me laugh. I just finished Pino's book about the clarinet. At one time it was the oboe that was played everywhere. The clarinet was 'unusual'. Very unpopular for a long time. Very expensive.

Now it's the opposite.

What a funny old world.

I've ordered a new oboe about a month ago. The company said it should be arriving next week. It's a Howarth S45 with a third octave key. I'm so excited.
