Im actually following your videos it helps a lot for me and leaving comment here. Im using Loree royal 1992 made. Do you think is it worth to change to Marigaux 901 from Loree? Is there big change? Marigaux or Howarth had alot darker and warm tone which i want. It is hard to make good tone like you have

Thanks for following! I agree that Howarth and Marigaux have a "warmer" sound compared with Lorées, but Lorée has made some wonderful instruments, and I have students who sound beautiful on new and used Royals. If you've been playing for less than 5 years, I would experiment more with reeds, embouchure, and reed placement (not too far in the mouth!) before buying a new oboe. That early 90s era of Lorée does tend to amplify more of the higher overtones, so we have to be pickier about our reeds especially, but it should be possible to adjust those elements to make it sing. Once you have your fundamentals really solid - that could be now or in a couple of years - then it might be time to start oboe shopping. :)

Hello professor Ian. Now im practicing Geklers basic oboe. Is it too hard to learn Ferling after this book?

[@IanWisekal]

Great question! Are you in Gekeler book 1 or book 2? (Book 2 starts with the Barret melodies.) I make sure students are comfortable playing those melodies - as well as all the scales and arpeggios in the back of Gekeler 2 - before moving on to the Ferlings.
