Greetings fellow oboist! I`m really trying to work on my tone right now, and I asked my band director how to get a more pleasing tone, kind of like the actual sound of the oboe, and he said that it is mostly about the reed. Now, I am far beyound the "dieing duck" tone, but im not at the "beautiful and gorgous" tone yet. Any advice on this topic would really help!
Thanks in Advance,
Oboe_Player

Long tones are helpful, but not without proper technique. Your first step is to find a competent teacher.

I concur with the longtones idea because it will help build endurance and intonation of your sound. I also agree with a competent teacher who can help make reeds. Also, be sure to listen to many different recordings!Hope this helps and if you need anymore help feel free to e-mail me at Shoko2@hotmail.com! HAPPY REEDING!
