Yep … really … harmonica is considered a “free reed’ instrument

I played oboe when I was younger, now guitar. Of the lot piano was the most useful, and hard to pick up girls at party with oboe
I played the oboe in middle school band, because I was determined to announce to the world that I was a misfit
well, it’s comforting to know that I can still play the oboe after all of this english horn madness…
Quincy Jones; Soul Bossanova (arranged by Alexander L’Estrange)
Philippine MADZ (The Philippine Madrigal Singers)
And I’m tipsy. Gonna be a great show. Warming up the oboe.
(These tweets always bug me. Sigh.)
I still didn’t allow it to be posted, but you deserve the laugh:
Seriously still way too much rap/hip hop.
Yep … drove my poor broken oboe to Mark Chudnow today. He’s going to go over the entire oboe, so it should be in great shape when Opera San José begins orchestra rehearsals for Idomeneo. Do you think that will mean all my reeds will be so happy they’ll work great too? I’m hoping.
While there I also was able to pic up a couple of oboes for a student to try. Of course that makes me think, “Hmm. I sure think a new oboe would be cool!” Maybe next year ….
Thanks, Mark! See you in a few weeks!
In the dreamy ball and minimalist pastoral scene Dutoit managed, paradoxically, to project restraint, before opening the floodgates in the boisterous March to the Scaffold and Witches’ Sabbath. In all the ups and downs he was abetted by warm strings, punchy brass and individual woodwinds (although I wonder if video closeups of the English horn soloist can be reconciled with what should be a faraway sound).
I read it here.
Couple ‘o things: 1) the “faraway” instrument is an oboe; the English hornist is on stage but 2) who really cares about what the video of this is showing even if the big screen focusses on the oboist? Does this matter, even when it will sound “faraway”? Btw, we are also supposed to be shepherds but notice we don’t dress as such. It’s about the music ….
Okay, this is just my opinion here. For what it’s worth.

I think I can now do my major scales better on euphonium than I can on oboe. Is that bad?
Wow … that’s a nice long time!
The San Diego Symphony and its musicians have reached an agreement on a new five year contract that provides the orchestra’s 80 players with wage increases of approximately 3.5 percent each year over the next five years.
“San Diego still has a way to go to achieve salaries more typical of ‘Tier One’ orchestras,” said Edward “Ward” Gill, the symphony’s executive director in a statement. “But we are pleased to record steady progress in the right direction.”
Orchestra members’ base pay in the contract that ended in June was $57,776. The new contract, which the orchestra voted to approve late Friday, raises that amount to $59,708 in the first year and $68,234 in 2015-2016, the contract’s final year.
By comparison, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra approved a contract in late June setting a $100,110 minimum for its 99 members. That number, however, represented a nearly 10 percent reduction in wages from the previous year, during which the orchestra reportedly suffered a $2 million deficit on a $31 million budget.
The troubled economy, a diversity of entertainment options, and other factors have forced orchestras in Syracuse, Honolulu and New Mexico to cease operations while the Philadelphia Orchestra declared bankruptcy and the Detroit Symphony was eviscerated by a six-month strike.
San Diego ended its 2010-11 100th anniversary season, budgeted at approximately $18 million, in the black.
