hi i`m holly and i`ve been playing the clarinet for 7 years i play piano and saxaphone as well. now, i want to learn to play the oboe as a side project and i want to know the similarities between playing the oboe and the clarinet. also, any suggestions on what brand to get would be greatly welcomed.

Hello,

I play 10 years the clarinet, and now I began to the 3th year oboe.
The fingersettings are a bit the same but the f# and the f are different from the clarinet (that`s very confusing).
The way to breath out and in is also different (you also have to breath out while playing a oboe and then you have to breath in very quickly).

The way you have to set your lips is also different.

But I like to play both instruments!
