I guess the straight bell gives the oboe d'amore tone characteristics of an oboe. It cuts almost exactly like an oboe would naturally.

Diese Oboe D´amore ist so toll!!!!! Aber was, wenn man sich trotz großer Liebe dazu sich so ein Instrument nicht leisten kann????? This Oboe D'amore is so great!!!!! But what if you can't afford such an instrument despite your great love for it????? Unter.3000€ bekommt man keine gebrauchte Oboe D `amore. das ist schade, denn do bleibt es wenig in der Öffentlichkeit gespielt..... Es tut mir in der Seele weh!" You can't get a used Oboe D`amore for less than €3000. That's a shame, because it doesn't get played out much in public..... It hurts my soul!"n can?????

Hello Marin, love your honest contents !!! Could I ask one question regarding this Klastig. What about the projection of the reed? I feel they lack of it somehow. What do you think? Thank you. Regards from Vietnam
@BeyondOboe2 ай бұрын
Thanks for your kind opinion, I certainly hope that I give very honest reviews. To be honest about the projection I am not very certain as I only played in smaller rooms, I would suspect that it wouldn't do that great compared to normal cane reed in a bigger room/hall but it does sound and play quite nice. For a plastic reed it is definitely a step forward. Again it is possible to adjust them so I would assume it can get pretty close. My feeling overall is that they remind of playing on a reed made of very hard cane that needs to be scraped. If they made the material a bit more flexible it might be better in my opinion.

Maestro, thanks so much for the review. I've tried Legere & Silverstein Ambipoly. The Legere was very difficult to control (I was very new on Oboe at the time). I use the Ambipoly in rotation with several other cane reeds and it works very well. Not sure how long it would last if I used it regularly.

Keep in mind, I am a 73 y.o. dude with 1 year on Oboe (also play fHorn or bass trombone in community band). This reed works very well for me so far. IF/when I get good enough, I'll use it in community band while also rotating whatever cane reeds I have.

Bell definitely had a rounder softer sound. Which makes sense if the bell is compressing and not flaring out the sound waves. Definitely one of those use for the type of music things. That bell would work great on some Bach stuff. Do I play? No. I would have an asthma attack about 5 bars in......😮💨

Thank you so much for this video! I love your sound on this instrument, regardless of the bell! I also have been playing one of these for about a year and a half now and can definitely confirm the great playability. Intonation is also quite good in the low to mid range, but for me not so much in both the octave key registers. Would also be really curious to know what your setup is regarding staple/shape/reed length for this instrument! I am currently using a Pisoni d'amore staple with H97 shape and total length of 51.5mm. Thanks in advance!

I will play the Telemann concerto in G next week, so I practicing my D’amore like crazy this month.😇 The regular bell is more even, easier on intonation and a little “sharper” in pitch The “long” one is slightly flatter and intonation is not as precise. Projection is bigger in the long one but you lose some “warmness” of your timber that the “regular” one has. You sound great in both! Break a leg with your Bach in your concert!🎉😊

I try to play d'amore more and more, showcasing it as a solo instrument. Because I organize my own concerts (as a nearly-no-pay semi-pro) I can program what I want! ... I play a Bulgheroni d'amore with synthetic top joint. My next performance will include Le Repos de Tityre by Charles Koechlin! And anything baroque: instead of 'regular" oboe, I transpose by sight on d'amore!

Fascinating comparison. I agree with you completely, Marin, about the differences in tone quality. The more bulbous-looking bell sounds more like a traditional d'amore, but for my own feeling, I'd say that the straight/conical bell puts the timbre of the instrument somewhere between an oboe and a cor anglais. The straighter bell definitely gives the instrument a somewhat darker, deeper tone. Too bad there was so little composed for the d'amore. Great comparison! I always look forward to your videos.

Tone is so subjective, yes? To me there is no question the second bell is the more pleasant to listen to. It makes a stronger, more brilliant sound. The first more conventional one makes the instrument sound related to the bagpipes, a bit muffled. The second just makes a more appealing sound. What is the 2nd passage you played? It was so pretty to listen to.

New bell is so typically modern, it has just a whiff of stridency like modern clarinet tone, that extra bit of color that I am sure serves all sorts of important musical purposes but loses the smooth round perfection of the old one. The old one sounds like a classic oboe, the new one sounds like an oboe trying to live up to some outside standard.

Wow what a nice video! Thank you very much for all this information! After finishing high school I stopped my oboe lessons because I graduated from the music school and i never learned to scrape my reeds. This video motivates me to pick up the reed making and scraping again! I do have a question about scraping. Can i also scrape more on the side (so more left of more right when holding the reed right in front of you) of the reed? Because i thought by scraping there I did something to the vibration of the reed.. so that's why I am asking just to ne sure if it would do something to my tone or to the vibrations of the reed, or if i could scrape on the side without it having consequences to how the reed sounds?
@BeyondOboe6 ай бұрын
In this video I could explain in depth I would need a week seminar to do so 😁 still hoping it was helpful! It's important to have a good teacher by your side. Anyway to your question, scraping the sides would make the spine look thicker resulting in a bit more clean sound I would say but It all depends on what kind of gouge you are sitting on. Ideally the scrape should be complementing and working with the gouge.
