Dear all, I am curious about how likely the C.P.E. Bach's Hoboe Solo was performed during the 19th century. Was it common to perform minor works from the...
I hope people don't mind a prosaic question... What is the recommended technique for oiling a Hautboy? I'm familiar with oiling recorders, and typically use...
Hello Don, You can use basically the same technique as for your recorders; just use a feather (or a swab) to apply the oil, first putting some paper towel...

Hello everyone, I am really a beginner in this field, but I've been told that oiling my very old (modern) oboe should bring great benefits. Does someone can...
that's an interesting musical connection, but a direct quotation from CPE Bach is unlikely because as far as I know the sonata only exists in a MS copy, which...

Hi everyone, I've just started to learn the hautboy. One of the more difficult intervals I've encountered is B/Bb above the stave down a fourth to F (slurred...
Welcome! Here are a few thoughts (1) Make sure the reed isn't leaking and is open enough in the back (2) Make sure the the 3rd finger LH is down soon enough...
