... But with time and perseverance, melodic does eventually replace mallard and you begin to get the sombre, mellow tone that makes the oboe such a special instrument. For better or worse, at no point in your learning will you sound like anything but an oboe! Pros Once you get past the merganser stage, there are real musical advantages to being an oboist. For one thing you have real musical dexterity, with a range of more than two octaves (less than a flute or clarinet, but tone changes between high and low notes m...more
