Our beautiful baby Diamond is One Year Old today. He’s the light of my life, but he does like to chew oboe reeds... #mainecoon Happy Birthday to his brothers and sisters, especially @billtimp’s Tiber.
Ever wondered how oboe reeds are made? Here are a few behind-the-scenes shots of Principal Oboe Tom Blomfield hard at work, during the filming of our recent interview.

An oboe is a double reed instrument. A double reed consists of two flattened blades of bamboo that produce sound through the vibrations of one blade against the other! 🎶

Today the Biloxi Band hosted a professional development day for young teachers in conjunction with ASBDA and Andy’s Music. Congratulations to Assistant Band Director, Tracy Carter, for giving a great clinic session on teaching oboe. Fantastic job!
Playing any instrument with a bell cover sucks, but the one good thing it did was teach me to use better air support so now my oboe tone is SO different without a bell cover and it's exciting to hear that change. I think they call that growth??
Look, I’m not saying it’s not possible for Data to play the oboe if he doesn’t breathe or salivate to keep the reeds moist
I’m just saying I have a lot of questions about Data’s simulated bodily functions and what their purpose is given their inefficiency and superfluousness 🤷🤔
He is a "mechanic, acoustician and precision woodworker".
Hugo Lee talks about his role as Second Oboe on the series @classical963fm#MeetTheMusicians from last summer. @TSOmusicians
@IDRS is lame for shutting down its Facebook group with nearly 13k members with the hopes that it’ll drive members to its discussion forum...and maybe drive up membership. What is this...1990? Bad call!
I don’t know what the hell this is or why she’s doing this or if this is some sick trap to plug little Bambi here, but I find this oddly beautiful. https://t.co/uZUoQgf55D
