Oboe!


Envy

835 views

I did something that maybe a slight bit crazy: I went and bought an oboe!

With that, I now own all three of my top favorite instruments, and own at least one instrument from each major (and modern) woodwind family (flutes, clarinets, oboes, saxophones, bassoons). It's the first instrument I've actually bought for myself, so I feel accomplished. Work has been so stressful lately, I really needed to see the fruit of my labor that isn't school. lol

 

So now I'm just beginning to learn how to play it. It's a lot different from what I expected, but I like it!

 

One more picture:

I don't know if anybody cares, but I'm excited, so I thought I might share this. =D

Oh my god it's beautiful, aaah!~

I'm considering going to school to play classical oboe, but since you play a double reed already I'm sure you'll have a fine time getting it to work. (I went from a brass to oboe, bad choice.) It can be a pain but it's all so worth it! (All the solos!)

Oooh so nice and shiny. I wish I could afford to buy my own oboe. They're quite expensive, is yours used?

You lucky goose. Treat him/her it well.

(I named my oboe, okay? <__< >__>)

Cool, i'm so used to the dub wub that i don't stand back and listen to music like this. So go for it!

 

What is "dub wub"? I don't even know. lol

 

 

I wish you luck, I know that learning a new instrument is more than difficult.

 

Thanks. The oboe is a very difficult instrument to learn, I've heard. It's also a bit grating on the ears in the beginning. Which I've already learned. xD

I started with brass as well, actually. I was a trumpet player in high school and before. Embarrassingly enough, my embouchure is still too loose for the bassoon after all of these years. Or moreover I set it right to begin with, but then it goes back to being loose outside of my control. D:

 

I actually think the oboe might help me there because I've already learned that it's hard to even get a sound out of it if you don't have the embouchure set right.

 

Yes, it's used. I really wanted to get a new one, but things didn't really go my way in that regard. However, that's fine. The oboe is in very good condition and you can hardly even tell it's used. The keys are slightly scratched, but that's it.
