Meet the Oboe Family! Dr. Ann Lemke introduces 3 double reed instruments.

Dr. Ann Lemke plays the same scale on the oboe, oboe d'amore and English horn. They all use the same fingering, and are all double reed instruments, although the reeds are different sizes. The English horn and oboe d'amore have an egg-shaped bell and a bocal.

Can we take time to appreciate how good her tone is???

[@lemkestudio]

Thank you!

[@cuddlyxcat9220]

amazing playing! I know it’s very hard since I have one. And thanks for the information too!

[@lemkestudio]

Thank you! and you're welcome!

[@cuddlyxcat9220]

@BebeKid822 it can be hard for some people. For me, it wasn’t very hard. But for many people I know it is

[@OrionAerospaceKSP]

@*Snowie_Jumps* Probably not very well.

[@lemkestudio]

@bebekid822 Although many people think oboe is hard -- even Guinness Book -- if you love it, it doesn't seem that hard! It's great that you're already playing songs!

[@personperson5456]

There’s also bass/baritone oboe, hecklephone, and lupophone

[@lemkestudio]

Yes! I don't own any of those, so sorry I can't demo them! I have played them at International Double Reed Society conferences though!

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

​@@lemkestudioactually Bret Newton renamed it as a Tenor Oboe.

[@somebody9033]

@@RockStarOscarStern634yes, tenor oboe is a better name because bass oboe is a misnomer (that would actually be an oboe in F below the cor anglais), but everyone knows it as a bass oboe. Bret Newton will not be able to change this

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@somebody9033 The real Oboe in F an Octave below the Alto Oboe would be a Baritone so the true Bass Oboe would be in C 2 Octaves below the Soprano Oboe, etc.

[@somebody9033]

@@RockStarOscarStern634 Depends whether a family of instruments uses the word baritone or not. Saxophones do, recorders don't, most other families forget about logic and overlook tenor completely.

[@Mandimentionschannel]

I played the oboe throughout middle and high school. While in high school I had the opportunity to play the English horn for a few pieces. I loved it. And I have always wanted to try my hand at the oboe d’amoré. Unfortunately I have no oboe any more and I am back to flute but I have a goal of purchasing one in the future.

[@lemkestudio]

I hope you reach your goal! Oboe d'amore is quite rare. English horn is the heaviest of the 3.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

In simpler terms, this would be C Soprano Oboe, A Mezzo-soprano Oboe, and F Alto Oboe. Bret Newton came up with that based on the range.

[@lemkestudio]

Yes, that's a good way to put it! Thanks for your thoughts!

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@lemkestudio Yes based on the Basic Vocal Ranges so that means the True Tenor Oboe would be an Octave below the Standard Oboe etc. The Highest pitched Oboe is the F Sopranino but I want to go even higher to the High C Super Piccolo Oboe (an Octave above a Regular Oboe) which would require a Harmonic reed or something like that.

[@carylltheoboist]

I've always wondered what an oboe d'amore sounded like. That was beautiful, I loved it.

[@lemkestudio]

Glad you enjoyed it! You can listen to Troparion on oboe d'amore & piano and a duet for 2 oboes d'amore on this channel!

[@pfarnsworth84]

​​@lemkestudio I propose we go back to the original High German: Engellisches Horn or the modern German: Engleshorn. Alternatively, Silesian Horn would also work, if we're going to go with place names.

[@wilhelmorangenbaum2]

It would make more sense to call it an Alto Oboe considering it is more of an alto instrument. Some composers, like Wagner, have called it that way in the past.

clarinets have one piece of wood for the reed, making it a single reed and the oboe has two pieces of wood (cane) which makes it a doubbbble reed

Is it recommended to switch from oboe to English horn? I’ve been wondering for a while.

I've been interested in learning English Horn for a long time. Where would you say is the best place to rent one

[@lemkestudio]

That's great that you want to learn English horn. Midwest Musical Imports rents them, and a few other places also turn up with a quick search of "English horn rental". Some community orchestras and bands own them for their oboist to borrow.

[@notyou6674]

your voice is very quiet, I would recommend getting a lavalier microphone. they are relatively inexpensive online and sound great for stuff like this

Both instruments have double reeds and are woodwinds, but bassoon is not in the oboe family.

Is the oboe similar to clarinet? I want to learn oboe but don’t know which one

[@Yello96486]

They are actually verrrrry different For starters, clarinet is a single reed instrument in Bb and oboe is a double reed instrument in C - oboe is also a lot for difficult to play than clarinet (I've played both, but I mainly play oboe and English horn in highschool) Go for it tho, learning oboe is awesome (start with the "normal" oboe and then learn others in the future

Musical instrument, no such thing as a single reed musical instrument

[@lemkestudio]

The clarinets and saxophones are commonly known as single reed instruments.

[@darrellmoore1743]

There is also no such thing as a single lip embrouchere. All clarinet embrochures use two lips.

[@Yello96486]

The reed itself is just oneeee piece of wood (making it a single reed) For oboes and bassoons, it has twoooo pieces of wood (making it a double reed)

[@Yello96486]

The reed is the wood not the lip placement (the two come hand in hand tho)
