just thought id share my fuked up views...

I mean...couldnt you lot learn a better instrument????

Not everyone can have your appreciation for, or be such an accomplished player as yourself on kazoo!

Just my humble opinion, which is subject to change, without notice,

Lol, it`s so easy talking about things you don`t even know

oboes sound beutiful.... whenplayed good, only a few of the oboe players in my band soung good the rest HORRIBLE thats why everyone hates the oboe but not me

The Oboe picks the player....takes a certain type of person. Usually we are a bunch of weirdos who will spend many hours laboring over one reed and trying to get it to sound perfect. I play the oboe because it is a beautiful instrument and if played well it can bring you self-satisfaction. Same with any other instrument.

i agree with brian and chris
oboes ARE beautiful instruments!
i have to deal with people calling me a clarinet or bobo the hobo oboe every day
it SUCKS but im the only one in our band who can play the oboe

Hey, we have 3 oboes in our band and only 2 of us has non-student oboes.

The student oboe sounds like... too much of a duck.

It`s hard to match pitch when 2 instruments are so different.


I have great sound coming from my oboe, quoth my tutor.
I just don`t have the same greatness w/ rhythm.


It depends on how much work you`re willing to put into it.

So don`t go all huffy about it!

This is my 3rd year playing oboe, and I spent hundreds of hours working on it!

Which reminds me... I got All-Region coming up.

The oboe was the very first instrument i ever played, of course i started on the sof t fibercane pre-made reeds, making an aweful honking like sound, so i gave up on it for a while, then i picked it up again and progressed to a much harder Hand made reed, they have improved my tone so much, the more effort you put into the better sound you will get. there are two Oboists in my band, me and the other have both reached the level of a beautiful oboe sound, so i completely disagree with your opinion of oboes.

BTW, i dont think it was wise to be bashing the oboe in the section of this forum where Oboists like to hang out

the oboe is off the rocka you just have to have commitment and be willing to sound like crap for a little bit i am in junior high and i guess being different is the style because most people come and ask me do i think they could play oboe because they like the sound other than that i just have a problem with people calling it a clarinet that p!sses me off

Dear Valeria:

I CAN PLAY THE OBOE, IT`S JUST ALYSSA(I think that`s how U spell her name)WHO CAN`T PLAY!!!


Dear other people:

Oboes R definetly the BEST instrument in the world!!!

of course when i typed /I , i meant /we.
any way OBES ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ACCIDENTLY SPELLED /OBOE WRONG!
shame on me
i must go apologoze to ms. McFoboe!
for shame shame shame.!
i feel bad now.

Maybe you feel that way because you cant play it? cuz I know once a person picks up the oboe and realizes that getting a sweet mellow sound out of it takes time, they throw it down and pick up a clarinet or a sax.

well i play the bassoon and sometimes i wish i had started with the oboe. the bassoon is much worse! and clarinets squeek like hell!

Excuse me? Clarinets don`t squeak unless an inexperienced with an player.

I play oboe, flute, and clarinet.
