Honestly, i feel you. Last year I sat in between the first clarinets and the first flutes, but since I am on both flute and oboe this year, I sit in the second chair flute section. I am not the o ly object though, our other oboest is only on oboe and sits where I sat last year
My question is: did you you actually have oboe sheet music? Half of my band experience was them giving me (the only oboist) the flute music with 5 ledger lines that I couldn't even read let alone play without drawing on the notes about 2 octaves lower. I feel you so much XD
I, a French horn player/ Conductor has never seen a funnier character than you, now as a modest guy I mostly spend my time listening to bands play sleigh ride because of my obsession with the low brass. Best so far! Also I like your hairstyle, I rarely give anyone compliments in band. But hey you are pretty, heads up.
As an oboist I was excited to see this trend represented from our perspective, however was absolutely terrified you were going to play the original and that my hubris was about to be destroyed- thankfully that was not the case 😅. Keep playing you sound good 👍
Omg bass clarinets deserve so much more love is crazy. Thats so sweet also thank you so much im glad i could be of inspiration to you!!! Sending love a good wishes youre gonna do great!!! 🫶
This reminds of the time I was put in the flute section of a Chinese band (using all classical Chinese instruments). I was playing an octave lower than the Chinese flutes. I have an oboe I bought off eBay for $67. It's not the greatest, but it's reasonably playable, I didn't realize how LOUD an oboe can be--the house got surrounded by ducks and even a couple chiropractors (just kidding). I also have a suona, which is a double-reed instrument that's also quite loud--infact it's considered the loudest Chinese instrument, as classical Chinese music doesn't include brass instruments (labrophones or cup-mouthpieced instruments).
Thank you so much 🫶🫶🫶 i i have curtian bangs so i first brushed them to the front, then i took the layers by my ears and pinned them back with bobby pins, towards the back of my head. Last, i just pinned some gift wrapping bows over the bobby pins. Hope this helps and again thank you so much, your comment is genuinely so sweet 🫶
Aww tysm. I was holding a flute in the beginning because i play both the flute and the oboe and we were doing full runs of our winter concert that day so i had both with me
coming from a bassoon, which is also a double reed, I feel like you have the reed too much in your mouth?? don’t get me wrong, the sound is in tune and the notes are great, but seeing this looks off, I could be wrong though!
The Reed that I used in the video was a temporary reed i was using because my main one had cracked the day before 😅. The one seen in the video is on the smaller size, so that is why I had it so far in my mouth. However, I do believe you are correct that I might've had it a bit too far in. Thank you so much for your feedback. It is very much appreciated, especially coming from another musician
