I did check out an English Horn today, which was pretty cool. Except the English Horn is heavy, and the case didn’t have a neck strap. And also, the English Horn is hard. The oboe is about a jillion times easier.

(For the record, I don’t use a neck strap. I have rather strong hands, so I don’t use a peg either. But if I had to use something it would be a peg … I think the neck strap is rotten on the neck.)
