[@sockplagg9570]

[@larryleyangli7129]

[@pokie2526]

[@CRYPTCATT]

[@okachumi8139]

😂

[@oboeari]

Love this!! So many reasons to pick the oboe, thanks for creating this video!

[@mayshalomaine5256]

Wow the Reed sounds neat on its own too. You sound great. Thanks for sharing. I've always loved twinkle twinkle little star... now that brings back memories 😆

[@bobjacobson858]

A few months ago I purchased another double-reeded instrument--the suona, which is shorter with a flared bell, and has been called "China's loudest instrument" because it essentially serves the role of a trumpet in Chinese classical music which doesn't use brass instruments having cupped mouthpieces. However, my ability to play has been limited because I can't find a source of information regarding the fingering, so I've had to play what I can by ear.

Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos. Saludos desde Chile.

The oboe is the best instrument!

[@405boy4]

Naw.. It's cool tho. I'd put the trombone, saxophone 🎷, the French Horn 🥖 and other instruments over it.. I still like it tho.

[@justbrawlepic5466]

U sure?

[@Skitdora2010]

I think oboe gets a bad rap because it is a hard instrument to play well and many never heard the pure beautiful sound it is capable of. It is much easier to play sax or trumpet so there are so many more examples of those sounding pleasant. However, the oboe is a classical instrument with many solos written just for it alone so the composers know how beautiful the oboe is and appreciate it at least. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIitmZSubK-grtU

@@405boy4 the oboe is like number three on my list trombone is my last and french horn is my 4th, tenor sax is my fav

@@405boy4 trombone is gross in my opinion. All the ppl in my band are either out of tune or just can’t play at all.

Love that double reed

[@natsukaze5799]

Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing your love for the oboe, Josh. You sound great on it!

[@TheAries414]

I play in a symphony i play ( clarinet, oboe and violin,)and my favorite instruments are The oboe and cello

[@melvinlee8370]

I play clarinet but I’m going to learn the oboe is it like the clarinet or different

[@TheAries414]

@@melvinlee8370 for me i thinks its easy because i have a passion for playing it and really all you need a tight embouchure to be able to blow. Its the same notes as a recorder and the same notes fingering as the clarinet in the upper register for example the first notes of the oboe Is "B,A, ,G First , second third fingering as you will in the upper octave of the clarinet it will come easy trust me if your passionate about it it will come I learned amazing grace on my own just by my musical knowlegde and by ear so in my opinion i think its easy

[@krysztof6917]

@@melvinlee8370 very different because of it's double reed nature and it's octave key actually is an octave above, unlike the clarinet which does an octave and a fifth

[@brentsilvey2288]

We have a oboe in our band and she sounds like a flipping bagpipe, but you sound a lot better.

[@ma.ri.ahhhhh]

LMAO SAME

[@aceadores]

Good thing I play the oboe but my friend said it sounds like a jazz instrument

[@samueljett3505]

oh cool! mine sounds like donald duck got assulted by a bus

[@bigg5198]

Yeah is beautifull but…. Isn’t the oboe the hardest wind instrument?

[@moonwalker_jackson5536]

yeah.. but its worth it!

[@childboy766]

I feel like everyone on oboe knows how to play swan lake by chia collins-key or something

[@shancyscott1870]

I play the oboe in a school band, and may I just say, double reeds are lonely!

[@charmianlea353]

IM FROM TEXAS AND I PLAY TRUMPET AND OBEO ITS SO GOOD RIGHT

[@angelearly-robinson6186]

Oboe is the best !

[@AStickOfDeoderant]

Okay, the oboe is cool, but how do you tongue that beast even? Like, I’m mainly a clarinet player, so you might guess that I don’t even know how to tongue an oboe. Please, tell us.

[@frogger551]

if you havent already looked it up, the oboe it tongued by lightly pressing against the bottom of the reed.

[@MattDoesCalisthenics]

Do you recommend buying or making my own reeds? I am going into my 10th grade year… I can play really technical prices but I have gotten to a point where the reed is the issue… sometimes when we get reeds they are really good and others are not. Any suggestions?

[@goatt7892]

Make your own if you can make them good Yourself

Did you play two octaves of the B flat scales?

[@hallyzhou]

That was 2 octaves of C major scale

[@zephyrraven3613]

@@hallyzhou alright, thank you! I'm trying to learn to distinguish them, as I'm gonna be playing Oboe soon hopefully!

[@hallyzhou]

@@zephyrraven3613 b flat is the lowest note on the oboe, it’s very important to have what CM scale sounds like memorized in your brain as oboe is a C instrument

[@sockplagg9570]

I hate how u cant play 2 octaves of the f scale.

[@hallyzhou]

@@sockplagg9570 why? the third octave F is a little hard to hit but def not the worst, usually the limit is at G and some people can play even to A or higher

I would definitely not take up this instrument after hearing you play

kinda rude

[@isabel_329]

Why i think he sounds great?

[@elixier33]

I really don't think this guy is very happy about being on video he looks nervous. Buy a flute these things are well out of the price range of most people.
