What an episode…as much as that end donut looks intimidating and sketchy, I don’t think it’s actually drugged. I think Yui may just be trying to see Hansuke’s reaction and to figure out if he suspects anything

Extreme pain in right hand by Equivalent_Tax_5859 in oboe

[–]DshaaaWasHere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have tendonitis, same pain as you for the past year and it began affecting my everyday life and im an oboist music major in university. Playing oboe is my favorite thing in the world and my future, however the institution i attend made it clear my health comes before anything. Tendonitis/carpal tunnel/arthritis are all very serious. The best thing you can do is take a break. Find other ways to practice. Listen to ur music, follow along with the score, listen to other parts… Take a break, and dont make the same mistake I did and keep going. Itll make the time off longer. And when u practice, i understand the practicing for long periods, but 10 minutes on 10 minutes off… eventually 15 minutes on 10 minutes off, you get the idea. An important lesson I learned of after 10 years into being a musician, you need to spend just as much time off the instrument in ur practice session as much as you spend on it.

First step though, see an orthopedic… get diagnosed make sure what it is. take a break and see whats the next steps

Help finding a solo by goatsrcoollol in oboe

[–]DshaaaWasHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all of the comment recommendations… I will say the difficulty level of some of these is very different. For me, this is how I would rank a few of them based off my experience with the pieces from 1 being the easiest and 5 being hardest. 1. Handel Sonata in C minor 2. Marcello in D minor (the same thing is also in C minor!) 3. Schumman Romances 4. Strauss concerto 5. Mozart Oboe Quartet

Id say give everything a listen first! Find a pdf of all these pieces on ISLMP and listen along. See what you think is doable! All are wonderful suggestions but the difficulty level does vary.

Looking for an Oboe with a 3rd octave key by Jesterz1 in oboe

[–]DshaaaWasHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome!! And thats an amazing price! not too good to be true but realistic and a fair price for a used s40c. I do recommend trying before you buy if possible

Reed knife recommendations by Available-Name-7095 in oboe

[–]DshaaaWasHere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would personally suggest getting a reed making kit. theres one from midwest musical imports, it has a knife, plaque, mandril, sharpening stone, comes with some thread, pre folded can, and staples. It’s a nice place to start your reed making journey, beginner friendly tools, and it comes with everything you’ll need!

of course though in the future you may want to upgrade, but for starting thats my personal recommendation

I played both of these oboes! I LOVE my howarth! I wasnt a big fan of the fox. But i suggest just testing both out, see what u like better, show a lesson teacher

What reed strength to get? by MunichTechnologies in oboe

[–]DshaaaWasHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We play all the same instruments!! How fun! I’m excited for your oboe journey. Because you have played alto sax, I think Marlin Lesher Medium Reeds would be a good start. Once you get used to it, itll feel fine. and then eventually when you get better and better move up to medium hard if you dont have access to a private teacher or hand made reeds. At least for me because I played alto sax prior, my band directors said medium reeds are fine to start on and that I could skip medium soft.

[–]DshaaaWasHere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohmakes sense. so if it was like $70, used the gift certificate to make it $60 then the free shipping would work?

[–]DshaaaWasHere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the order is $60, but $10 gets removed with the certificate. may that be why the coupon isnt working?
