Study Historical Oboes and Reedmaking
One of the more difficult things to do is figure out what these ancient, historical, and vintage oboes were all about. Where did they come from? How did they evolve? Who played them? What did they sound like? What about the reeds? Since there are no recordings, we rely on treatises and texts on the subject as well as the music for clues as to how these instruments sounded and how we might go about playing them today.
