About Me
Hi i`m Abigail and I am an oboist/english hornist. I have been playing oboe for about 6 years now! I play oboe for my school band and play 1st oboe/english horn in a youth symphony. I play on a fox 520 english horn and a Loree AK oboe.
I also have been playing flute for 3 years piccolo for 2 years, and piano for about 8 years. I`m not the best at them and don`t really like playing them as much as the oboe lol. I just play flute and piccolo for pep band. I used to take piano lessons, but now I just play it for fun.

I am currently learning the bassoon to play in an orchestra for a musical, so if anyone has any tips I would appreciate them! :)

The picture at the left is me playing my english horn solo at a contest. I got a superior rating and an outstanding performance award. I then went to state and got a superior there! My oboe solo got a superior and an outstanding performance at regionals and a superior and outstanding at state!

And someday I would really looooove to play the oboe d`amore! :D
Interests
Dancing ballet, singing, classical music, oboe, english horn, attempting to make reeds, orchestra, band, and other music related stuff!

I have also started composing some songs lol. I wrote one for our concert band and we might play it next year!

My youth orchestra hasn't started yet. I really want to play Tombeau de couperin! If you have not listened to it you should. It has amazing oboe solos in it. I love bizet and debussy as well. I just want to play something really fun.

O that's great. Playing with others is tons of fun.

Are you playing on your own horn or using the groups?

You should look at the neotech neck straps. They are very comfortable and not too pricey.

Well, today I found another neckstrap lying around my house. So I cut it up and attached it onto my old neckstrap. Now I've got a perfect, long, neckstrap! I can't wait til I can use it once I get my eh!

My neckstrap (if I fold it in half) is only 20 inches... I'm not too sure if that's too short, is it?

Just a few more eh quesitons!

What brand of neckstrap do you use? I think I have a neotech sax one here. I'm wondering if It'll work.

Also, any real changes from oboe to eh difficult? I know about looser embouchure and everything. How's the half hole?

I've seen foxes eh's but they don't seem all that great. But loree's are $$$$ same as marigaux. Have you ever played eh in an orchestra?

I know! My loree sounds WAY better than my yamaha. Loree's are just so beautiful and so dark and rich! I love them! I can't wait to see what english horn my school has. I hope it's a loree or marigaux!

I really want to try some marigauxs! I'm trying out a used yamaha 411 (older 441) full grenadillia oboe right now. I've been playing it outside a LOT because I don't want to play on my loree and it's a really solid instrument. No cracking yet!
