I just discovered this fantastic forum today, and thought I'd ask a question which has been niggling at me a lot.
I used to play the bassoon, and I thoroughly enjoyed it and got to a reasonable standard - but that was years ago.
Thing is, I've always adored the oboe, and I'm wondering how difficult it would be for a mature-age (ie. 40-something) ex-bassoonist to start the oboe from scratch! (And yes, I still have all my own teeth!)
I'm sure I've forgotten most things about bassoon-playing - my "bassoon embouchure" must be totally flaccid by now
Just wondering if I should I embark upon this oboe-playing adventure - or should I wait until my next life-time?
