I guess maybe the Boehm System Oboe has a Special sound akin to a Trumpet so maybe that could be used if Trumpetists aren't available or need "reinforcements". The C Clarinet has also been revived due to alot of improvements that were made to it & now it's becoming very popular.
@@mitchoboe_old Since the Boehm Oboe has the same Range as a Clarinet (I'm not yet sure if it did but if it does than we're pretty lucky) it could be a great Doublers instrument. Extending the Oboe's Range lower than C down to F (maybe lower than that) would allow us to take our music arrangements to a whole new level.
Thanks for posting, Mitch, very interesting. It looks like you're playing a Legere reed...is that working out for you and would you recommend it? Also, the Uebel oboe is open rings...do you have any opinion on that specifically?
OMG, how did I miss responding you? I have been Légère tester, and I particularly like medium soft. I still hesitate to recommend to everybody simply for the price point. But, for instance, it would be great for schools (if only we can trust the students to take a good care of it). I learned on a ring keyed oboe first, and although high school years in Japan, I played Püchner, with ring keys, full automatic and while shbang of German oboe. I do see that ring keys may not accommodate some of the contemporary music well. But I like playing it in a orchestra.

I have such a one since 1997 and 2012 refurbished 😊
I saw one in a museum at the Museu da Música de Timbó in south Brazil around 2010, probably still there. I thought it was called an Boehm system oboe.
We revived the Oboe Boehm keywork
You did?? Tell us more about it!
@@mitchoboe_old This one has the same fingerings as the Clarinet & the same range so it's called the Clarinoboe.

@@RockStarOscarStern634 I don't understand, you built a cylindrical bore double reed instrument?
