I guess that's why they're so wicked expensive! They also only come one at a time, so if you mess up ONCE, it's about $20 down the drain. Although I have just seen an ad by Légère, who makes my clarinet reed, selling a plastic oboe reed at $190.36, so it's worth about ten wooden reeds.

I see a lot of comments about how red the oboist's face turns red. I think it's just this oboist style. It doesn't take a lot of air blown into the instrument to make a sound. The tube the reeds are strapped to is about the diameter of a knitting needle. So it's more like you're holding your breath when you play it.

Yeah. That would screw everybody up. XD

Famous anecdocte: At a rehearsal, Sir Thomas Beecham once asked the oboist to give an "A" so the orchestra could tune up. This particular oboist had a very wide vibrato. Beecham looked around at the orchestra and said, "Take your pick."

Oboist had a bad reed and went full tomato

I saw the oboe guy go purple for a second I mean look at him he looks like the red hulk

I would have liked to know about difference in tone, range, typical roles they play in an orchestra. Showing that they have reeds and come apart isn't very interesting.

I can confess that for some inexplicable reason now I'm obsessed with these two instruments althought I still love saxophone since I was a child. I believe that the great classiness, sweetness and tenderness of oboe's sound is incomparable (because clarinet sounds good BUT) and English horn is the perfect complement for oboe so I love them too much together. I need to listen an English horn version of the Ennio Morricone's masterpiece "Gabriel's Oboe". Thanks for sharing and greetings from Spain!!! 🌸🌸🌸💐💐💐🌸🌸🌸

The oboe is much more physically difficult to play than the EH, which makes playing the latter a lot more fun.

The name of the English horn actually comes from a mispronounciation in French. The French often pronounce Anglais like "anglé". There is an angle in the tube where the player blows. The instrument was not invented in England, but in Italy, like many classical instruments. Also, it is not technically a horn because it doesn't have a mouthpiece, but a wooden reed.

What piece are they playing and what are other tunes like this? I could listen to that for hours

Good Wine from France and Oboe reeds,... brilliant. when is practice next ?

You might really like the bassoon.

I wanna be the leader of my woodwind section. Only problem, my tuning A sounds like trash compared to yours haha. At my school, the first Flute leads the sectionals, when all the woodwinds are together.

Does anyone know the name of the duet that was played in the video??

Any tips to build endurance, I make a good sound and about halfway through a piece my embouchure collapses

I want to play the English Horn

If the EH is pitched a fifth lower than the oboe, would a composer have to notate the fingered notes a 5th higher to get the sounded not he/she wants? In a music program you have to write it the way you want it to sound. Would it have to be re-written for a concert score to compensate. Thanks.

Ahh nice to see there are other oboe geeks out there

I am trying to find this duet, it not the suite? Or the one called Father Son Duet?

I always wanted to know the difference bc they look almost the same to me

The oboe sounds like a Marigaux 901 as opposed to the now ubiquitous Loree heard in most American ensembles.

What’s the name of that duet that Alec Wilder compose?

Is Oboe D' Amore higher than English Horn? What key are they in?

Du très beau hautbois

Can you blues on one?

The duet was very pretty, but I think this video would have been more instructional if they had played excerpts separately so we could better hear the differences between the instruments.

I play a recorder, but i can't get much tunes out of it :P Doesn't matter. When i was young, i actually had a first go at the Piano at Shelby Church. It didn't sound very good though, cause i had no idea how to play it properly, XD. But, with KZreadrs showing people how to play the Piano, i totally know how to play it now. I just don't because i never played it again. Also, I'd rather play a big ol' pipe organ.

very nice video thank you. why does the english horn sound more sad though? I don't know what Im trying to say, but I think the engish horn sounds more serious...Like it grabs your attention like , "man this is serious," when a minor piece is played.

The English Horn is essentially an alto oboe and has, in fact, origins in France.

I guess French Horn was already taken. There is the old expression that the English Horn is not a horn and not English. Why the different names? Clarinets and saxophones have various sizes, and they just call them a clarinet or saxophone with a modifier that tells what range they are in.
